Chicago Hope

A Story by Abishai100

Narrated journey of Coronavirus-masked hope in the United States, as a reflection of shared human doctorates.

A Coronavirus-prayer story inspired by Outbreak (Dustin Hoffman)!

Coronavirus was all over the world, but a group of Ivy League graduates would travel from the East Coast to Chicago and make diaries about traffic and walking around the modern city in protective masks. Was this the End of the World or simply a way to re-imagine human vitality? After all, we'd endured the Black Death in Europe.

My name's Amlan and my sister was killed by the Coronavirus. She used to wear this t-shirt from my college fraternity, named after a famous tourist-pub in the United Kingdom!

I'm part of this group of Ivy Leaguers traveling to Chicago to analyze Coronavirus-mask life and traffic and take photos for a special cyber-album for which I'm the crowned 'nerdist' captain.

We're taking as our 'Catholic' mascot a Christmastime Chicago avatar called the Evil-Elf!

We're also taking these antique 1920s crafter silver-tin water-gun toys which will be filled with holy-water and mint-water for prayers made in Chicago Park. Follow along.

One of our team-members is a comic book artist penning a special series about trench-coat masked vigilantes in Chicago wielding golden-guns filled with hot water for medical crusades about the message of human resilience. The avatar is the Foreigner.

So, we arrive in Chicago Park and start taking photos of the area under the sun and notice all the human traffic, but this is actually a memory of something we'd seen years ago, before the Coronavirus hit the Earth. This was just a memory.

TEAM-MEMBER: Hey, we love sports celebrating the continental magic and sensory beauty of life-fanfare and green-charms.

We also pray to the gods Shiva and Parvati, lords of depth and lightness. We're Catholic, but these deity-avatars remind us of the faces behind Coronavirus masks in US cities like Chicago and Haddonfield.

So we actually arrive in Chicago and take photos of the immaculate Chicago Hospital. What a building!!

We understand today's patients with the virus and those without may be on other meds like Klonopin/Lithium. It's hard-life.

Chicago Hope however remains an American hospital of incredible value, something to really appreciate in this 20th-Anniversary year of 9/11.

We start putting on our Coronavirus masks.

One of us has a small kid and he's got his magic Coronavirus-mask on too, as we roam Chicago with our smart-cameras.

CHICAGO CHURCH: Wearing a mask does not hide our faces from divine prayer.

TEAM-MEMBER: We might use the light from art to remind us of the sincere value of socialized healthcare!

One of us puts on a mask and a trench-coat and is photographed by another team-member and notes that there's still so many taxi-cabs amidst all this Chicago sadness created by this new era Coronavirus-masked life.

"We must be real nerds of medicine to find the eternal music through this tribulation of shared humiliation."

The masks represent life and endurance, and we always make sure we wear masks when in public spaces, you never know who isn't vaccinated!

Some who've been vaccinated have the courage to not wear masks and talk and wax lyrically about foreign and exotic ideas and movie like The Devil's Own.

I decide to take a detour and rob a Chicago bank of terrorism-financing blood-diamonds in the safe-box owned/controlled by a corrupt baron named Goldfinger, and I use an acid-gun to burn through the box and trick the guardsman by tellin' him I'm a messenger of Interpol experiments.

"The fashion-chic created by Coronavirus-mask life is really about the endurance of realized medical humility...and wishes."

TEAM-MEMBER: I just don't want to go inside a restaurant restroom without my handy-dandy Corona-mask.

"I just took my mask off to enjoy some Chicago Irish seafood stew-soup!"

We noticed a painting commemorating the death of a famous Irish politician killed by the Coronavirus in Chicago.

We call ourselves Chicago Hope (CH), and we believe we'll get through this experience...since we've gotten through so much in world history (e.g., Bloody Sunday).
