The Fourth Floor of Nowhere

An estranged couple teetering on the precipice
of splitsville  are holed up on the fourth floor
of nowhere, their apartment. They're seeking refuge 
from the covid-19 pandemic. Both decided to 
quarantine together in hopes of salvaging 
the crumbling state of their union. It was a bad idea,
a colossal mistake. Their attempt at reconciliation,
a total failure. Their toxic relationship almost as 
as insidious as the deadly virus itself! Trapped 
 on the fourth floor of nowhere; sometimes they
seem like prison inmates tethered to each other.
All they wanted was to work through their issues,
but they've made matters infinitely worse.
Incessant fighting ensues. Murphy's law unravel
before their eyes. It's a glorious mess!

              an estranged couple
              covid-19 quarantine...
                colossal mistake
