After a simple Christmas Day lunch Jan, Victoria and Darren decided to take a walk. They all stood in the hallway laughing.
'Oooh don't forget your mask,' Jan said. None of them wore masks so they all laughed.
'More like a face nappy,' Victoria chimed in as she slipped on a dusty pink duffel coat. Jan looked rather elegant in a classic camel coat and Darren a bit scruffy next to her but extremely handsome in his parka.
Jan settled Teddy into her pram and wrapped her up in a festive Christmas baby blanket and they set off as Victoria put Spice's lead on. The little dog jumped around furiously once she saw the lead, her silky golden ears flapping with excitement.
They chatted about Andy and Maggie as they walked down the avenue on that bright cold winter's day. Jan was pushing the baby's pram feeling like she could actually be the mother not the Grandmother. There was not another soul around, all too afraid to come out in the not so deadly fake pandemic.
'Jesus we might all get arrested and hauled off to prison!' laughed Victoria.
'Yeah and Dad will have to come and bail us out. My God did you hear him? He thinks we are all mad!' said Darren. 'Honestly, Merry Christmas to you too and Maggie is just as bad. What happened to freedom of speech?'
'He's become so belligerent,' said Jan 'well I'm not calling them again in a hurry I mean he called us murderers and Maggie had the cheek to say he had a point.'
'Well it looks like they will be taking the vaccine although I'm loath to call it a vaccine it's more like an experimental jab to be honest.' said Darren. They all went quiet knowing the implications of this deadly jab.
Darren's phone started to ring loudly, a welcome interruption to their dark thoughts. They all froze for a moment thinking it was Andy calling.
'Oh its only Sakura.' said Darren turning on his FaceTime to see her happy smiling face on the screen.
'I just wanted to wish you all a Merry Christmas,' she said and Darren turned the camera as they all gathered together and smiled and waved at the girl who had so quickly become a part of the family. Darren had started to meet up with her and a relationship had formed almost immediately. He finally had someone by his side that he was proud to call his girlfriend. They were so on the same page and because she was the only one with an alternative view in her family she had responded well to the warmth of Darren's family.
She was now in a situation at home where she was unable to express her views so it was such a relief for her to connect with Darren. Her family had somehow started to believe she was mentally ill so she just withdrew from them which was making the situation quite unbearable.
'Oh look here comes some maskers,' said Victoria. They could see a couple walking towards them all masked up glaring at the family with hostility. Then they actually crossed the street. This cracked them up and they all had a good laugh once the couple had passed by.
'So are you coming over tomorrow?' Darren asked Sakura.
'Yeah definitely,' she said. 'I'll drive over in the morning and we can spend the day together.'
'Can't wait, see you then.' Darren replied and turning the phone off he smiled at Jan and Victoria. Jan beamed at Darren. She was so happy for her son especially after everything that had gone on in the past year. She saw how happy Sakura made Darren and she had really taken to the young girl herself.
Jan was doing surprisingly well, all things considered, and although most days she cried that was quite normal. It was the love for the new baby and her fight for freedom that drove her on. She believed the lockdown had sucked the life out of Emma and that was why she saw through it all and realized the agenda they were facing.
The cruelty of the depopulation agenda, or the murder of innocent people as she called it, had taken her daughter who had been a victim of it all. Darren, Victoria and Jan were more determined than ever to live their lives and to fight the tyranny and were driven by the loss of Emma to do so. It was now in her honour that they pledged to fight it to the end. 'Life is for living.' Jan reminded herself daily and in time she believed she would be reunited with her daughter but for now they all knew that they must fight as hard as they could and stay strong together. She was also driven as a Mother and a Grandmother to fight for the younger generation's freedom and happiness.
In some ways they all felt more alive than they had ever done before. Jan had stopped drinking and was facing issues that she had previously been unaware that she had. She was starting to blossom as a person and to grow and to think.
They had decided not to exchange presents between each other and had just sent one parcel over to Andy and Maggie. Living simply without excess seemed to bring a different quality to their lives. They had also got rid of the three televisions in the house and instead played board games, read or chatted. They were also engrossed in doing research on Corona, New world Order, Vaccines and this formed most of their discussions and debates. They avidly followed Virologists and Doctors who spoke out against the mainstream narrative and who had all been struck off and portrayed as dangerous cranks.
Because of these changes they had become stronger together and all felt more connected. They set one screen up in the study for movies only and were all thriving without the constant propaganda from the mainstream media. They had all thrown themselves into the freedom movement and educated themselves on every aspect of the struggle.
Jan had finally come off Facebook realizing that it was all fake. People who she thought were her friends had constantly attacked her and anytime she questioned the narrative she was shot down by 'Fact Checkers' which she realized when doing some research were funded by Bill Gates. So realizing she was somehow not allowed to have an opinion and seemed to have no real friends she had deactivated her account.
Darren had been impressed by this awakening in his Mother. His Mum had practically lived by her social media and over the past month he had seen some dramatic changes in her behavior. She now engaged when she spoke rather than sitting moronically scrolling through her feed.
It had hurt Jan deeply to be rejected online but she had opened her eyes and once she saw it she couldn't un see it. Most of her so called friends had been cruel and judgmental. Her best friend had told her she had lost her mind due to losing Emma to Covid and even though Jan had repeatedly told the friend she didn't die from Covid and that she fucking killed herself because of lockdown, the friend continued until Jan had told her to fuck off and had cut her off.
She now connected to only a few people in her social circle and this shocked her, people that she hardly knew or were on the peripheral of her circle surprised her when they left a positive comment or reached out to her. So from seemingly having a huge circle of friends she now had a mere handful. Victoria had also come off Facebook before her Mum because of the Press intrusion after Emma's death and had also not missed it. She was also focused on being a Mum and this took up all of her time. When she looked at her tiny baby she would feel the fire burning in her to try and fight for the next generation.
As they walked along happily chattering a police car pulled up screeching to a halt and two masked police got out and stood in front of them.
'Merry Christmas,' Jan said smiling at them.
'Yes Merry Christmas.' said the first officer, 'we just wanted to check you are all from the same household? Can I ask you where your masks are?'
'We're exempt.' said Darren.
'Shame on you stopping us like this,' said Jan angrily.
'And where do you live?' said the other one without any emotion or humor.
'Jan squared up to him, all five feet five inches of her and said angrily: 'around the corner from here officer. Is it ok that we took a walk or do we need permission to breath?'
The officers backed down maybe just not wanting trouble on Christmas day but warned them to get back home and to carry Lanyards if they were all supposedly exempt.
'Whatever!' Jan said, bristling with anger.
They decided to head back home and were only around the corner from the house anyway but that wasn't the point.
'How dare they! They have no right to do that,' Jan said angrily.
'I can't wait to go on the protest march next week. We need to stand up to this. They should be ashamed to harass innocent people taking a Christmas walk.'
