Safety Cards
Safety Cards
My wife and I have been staying at home most of the time since march 2020. We hardly go out. Our apartment is the only safe place. This is a story how fear and uncertainty have become our constant companions.
It all started when I developed a fear of flying by examining safety instructions on a plane. After that I found out there are many different guides that give recommendations on what to do if something happens. In this world of instructions, everything always goes wrong: robbers break into your house, your house is destroyed by an earthquake, an airplane falls into the water... - in this world, danger lurks around every corner.
This is a terrible place where you always have to stay vigilant: do not move if you are injured, be sure to lock the front door and so on.
In this world, you must know the necessary things to survive: before you eat a fruit, you need to wash it, and if you accidentally find yourself in a crowd, you need to get out of it at any cost.
