Creating an epic and staying sane

Last March, the world shut down.
I was still in college at Troy, and all classes went online. All work for the Tropolitan (the student newspaper) was being done virtually.
After a few weeks of not leaving my apartment, I was starting to go insane. I beat all my video games and binge-watched all the shows I’d been planning to watch. Cabin fever was setting in.
I was alone. Almost all my friends in Troy had moved back home since classes were online and they had no reason to stay. I needed a safe way to actually have human interaction, and I found it in an unlikely place. (Well, unlikely for me).
