#writethepandemic Writing Prompt <\/h1>\n\n\n\n

13, which says “Rewrite a piece of writing that you wrote before COVID-19 began”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a comic I made last August. I wanted to try simple scripting, drawing and coloring. On hindsight, I should have written a different storyline … one with a real plot. I’ll try to rewrite this comic into a very short one. I’m thinking of a single frame picture. Without further ado, here’s<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where’s Freddy, the window blinds salesman?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
40% discount on window blinds, blinded by offer.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Booking appointment to make blinds.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
That feeling when you are denied service because manpower is down. Window Blind Woes.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Third day is the day you get a reply.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Finally, after 9 days, an appointment is fixed on the 10th day. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
He cancels appointment in the late afternoon. After we had waited the whole day.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Salesman gives obliging reply that he’ll arrange for appointment. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Salesman took flight and didn’t make appointment. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Agitated, angry and giving up on salesman who didn’t keep appointment. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Salesman finally keeps promise to “arrange” appointment for on-site measurement.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Salesman Freddy finally makes an appointment to come for measurement. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
After 12 days, we finally meet Freddy the roller blinds salesman.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Salesman didn’t bring samples\/ swatches of fabrics.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Buyer has to visit store to make instant electronic payment for order of roller blinds.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Hey, Freddy! If you see this, give me a shout. Your window blinds are working well. Except for the bedroom blinds, whose drawstring should have been installed on the left side, instead of the right. The installation guys messed up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If this comic was rewritten into a one frame picture, it would be like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
