We all agree! The coronavirus is NOT welcome ever in any part of the world. I was curious about who the narrator was but I'm sure all the CDC agencies around the world have been completely exhausted these past two years. Hope you do well in the contest!

I have a feeling Coronella is around forever and will never leave us alone. We need to live with it like we have done other viruses. Thank you for sharing this writing prompt with us.

I told her that I was an egocentric racist, so she better keep her fengshui away, but she didn't care. (omit 'that')

She was like that Shaolin that used the air to conquer the world. (omit the first 'that')

but I resisted telling her that God gave us the Sun and Moon, (omit 'that')

I laughed and told him that my only free thing was my imagination, (omit 'that')

This was very, very clever writing, Iza. The gift no one wanted, but was allowed in anyway. It's not until the end we realise what 'it' is, and it made so much sense! That 'it' fooled the governments around the world, was true, (mind you, anything can get by my government.) This was an excellent contest entry, and I wish I had the sixth star to give you. Well done, and good luck! :) Sandra xx

This is a very interesting story and a fine offering for the contest. I felt drawn in by the scenario from beginning to end. Your descriptions and depictions were vivid and detailed. Great job!

This was an interesting read. I'll be honest, I wasn't fully able to follow. It was the kind of story that I happily read, followed and at the end wasn't quite sure what I read, but that I did enjoy it. So overall, nice work!

There's a little error in the first line: She came a long way to give me something that I didn't wanted. - I think it should be "She came a long way to give me something that I didn't want" or "that I hadn't wanted"?

You did a great job leading up to the conclusion 'it'
wasn't wanted--the it being the virus. Your story read
well with great imagery.
Best wishes, Jan

May I suggest ~

She came a long way to give me something that I didn't (want)wanted.
I guess money makes the world ( go round) goes around.

She brought with her something that turned our world upside down! I told her that I am(was) an egocentric racist, so she better keep her fengshui away, but she didn't care. With one blow she ripped through my self-defenses like there was nothing(to stop her).
She persuaded me (by) offering the sun and moon, but I resisted telling her that God gave us the Sun and Moon(,) and she (couldn't)cannot use them as a bargaining chip. But(,) she managed to fool the greedy politician(politicians, ) and they let her waltz her way across continents and fake democracy.

None of them smelt the trap. Under her nice looks and philanthropic demeanor(,) there was something ancient and evil. Every time I (looked at her,)was looking at her, I got that feeling that something bad(was) is creeping inside our souls. I tried to resist her, and my visit(visits) to the local chapel increased. I asked my Boss(boss) to guide me through this, but he just plastered me with the ancient excuse that I have free will and should use it. I laugh(laughed) and told him that my only free thing(was) is my imagination, the rest is prisoner to societal constraints. Oh, man, if I could only see and understand the real message, but no! I was blind and deaf living in a content illusion. I tried to convince myself that if I stopped making waves, Madame (would go away.)will away. See this was my main mistake. If I just opened my eyes and harass(harassed) her with questions, I could've found out her real motif(motive). But(,) she managed to throw some bribes in the direction of my superiors aka greedy lackeys that(who for. . . ) for a coin closed their eyes and let us perish . Some of them are gone now, and I wonder how(those . . . coins bought them . . . ). that coin bought them a free passage to hell.

My name is Marco(,) and I have nothing in common with Marco Polo. I am working for the Center of Diseases and Prevention(,) of course under cover. I am an agent of God sent to keep strange strains content, but one fooled me and got away. Oh, Carolina!

That morning when I opened the door to my secret lab, Coronella smiled and gave me the most dangerous strain that started as a cold, but then through me she managed to attack the rest of the world. She cursed me! Whatever I (touched)am touching multiplies and mutates. I am so tired and all I wanna do is to scream: " Coronella, you are not welcome! Get out of here! Return to your cave and be dead for another millennium!"

First sentence should be want?
Is it Carolina or coronella?

Wow! (first up if I may) the first line-(something I didn't wanted) should this be "want" this story really set my imagination alight in deciding what was unwanted and I came to the conclusion that it is a virus I am reading about, right or wrong I thoroughly enjoyed your story, best wishes for your contest****kahpot

So you, Marco, are the one that let that lady get by you and get loose on the rest of us. I think you are right. She is definitely evil and what she has to give is something no one wants. She definitely fooled the politician when she promised to fade away but Easter that first year.
