OCTOBER {Hawthorn}

“CHOSEN ONE DUNCAN, AND FIRST ONE MELODY HAVE TESTED POSITIVE FOR GOGI-ROSE!” Rupert spread the news around the Forest. Many animals found this ironic because he refused to wear conttonplasts and did not social distance. Other people said that he had it coming, and he deserved it; because of all the lives lost during the rife.

A day after Rupert spread the news about Duncan’s positive case, he sent a message.

“Dear Forestians, Melody and I have tested positive for Gogi-Rose. We are both well and feel fine. I will be continuing to carry out my responsibilities as your Chosen One while recovering. We have very mild symptoms and will be back to normal in no time! Your Chosen One, Tweaker Duncan” A bear read out loud.

“HA! He deserves to get Gogi-Rose after everything that happened to the Forest during this phase.” His husband said.

“And! Get this! He is going to the sanatorium with mild symptoms! When people are dying at home!” the first bear said. “Screw that guy.”

Meanwhile, a couple of miles away:

“Mom. Dad. Come here.” Sector yelled, with the paper in his hands. “It’s important.”

When they came into the room, Sector started to read the message. “Dear Forestians, Melody and I have tested positive for Gogi-Rose. We are both well and feel fine. I will be continuing to carry out my responsibilities as your Chosen One while recovering. We have very mild symptoms and will be back to normal in no time! Your Chosen One, Tweaker Duncan”

“Oh my.” Sectors mother said. “We need to hope for him and Melody.”

“We should. Where would our world be without our Chosen One?” Sector’s father said gruffly.
