**It was hard** to tell when it started and what came first. The heath, the flash, the anxiety, the chills that made them shiver for hours or the feeling that something had changed and it would never be the same again. 
They decided to share the shelter and not mentioning how they felt. There were no words to describe it besides each one of them knew how it felt. The reality, the world they had to face daily became small and was already hard enough. Locked inside was more than they could handle. Sharing feelings wouldn't change the situation they dealt with into good. Good was no longer part of their life. 
Fear became everyday's reality, the new normal and life was brought back to the basic needs. 
An old bunker became their shelter, the company of the others their bread and bath... a hot tub was something out of the past. A past they rather forgot instead of looking back at. 
Most of their time was spent on a mattress, not the cleanest one but it was better than the cold concrete floor. Curled up they tried to stay warm and only if anxiety took over they stretch out and waited, left and waited to see for a better moment. 
Labelled as useless, abandoned by Nature and society they waited for their last breath. A breath they would embrace like many had done before them. No fears, no hot flashes, no weakness, no hiding, no masks just a flash into afterlife.
