Dreams in Time
Year of the Mask
By: Edwin Rivera

Read how the author took his emotions, and experiences and put them in poetry and short stories during a global crisis.

During the covid 19 pandemic, the world raced against time. As scientists worked to get a cure for this disease, people were locked down and kept from living the basic freedom a person can have. As people were reported dying in the thousands, and chaos was occurring around the country and around the world, the author went to his writing talents, to be able to keep a sense of sanity. During this time the world was closed, distant and not available. As you read this novel, you will feel his back and forth emotional changes he suffered. Kept away from playing sports, being with his friends and family, the writer focused on creating certain writing works as a way to record what he saw and experienced during the pandemic. Amazingly, the author creates a world of fictional characters and stories, while staying away from becoming infected with the virus. A time of historic uncertainty became this author’s time to write.
