No Place To Land (3)

After 21 days, Prison Officials allowed for all inmates who tested positive for COVID-19 virus, and who are recovered, and those who continue to test negative, to go out to the prisons exercise yards together.

There is an obvious attempt by all inmates to avoid talking about the deaths, the hospitalized very ill, and alterations cancellations of all programs, as it is simply valuable to see eachother again, feel the sun, and locate laughter.

As Parallaxboi and daKid walk towards the exercise yard, daKid is the first to notice a fast approaching servo, beaming with a smile.
