Stars on a Whim

I was staying in the countryside for twelve days. I thought that artists are unfortunate in a way because although the world is in this situation they can keep doing the life until now without something stopping them. It's possible to create in any circumstances. Therefore, I decided to do nothing during my stay in the countryside. I stopped my 'life until now.' I did a bit of house chores, but besides that I was just spending lazy times. The art materials that I brought just

Because many industries in the world have stopped, we are informed by the news or something that the nature has recovered.
