There was a neighbor of mine. During lockdown, he decided to transform his small balcony into a mini garden. He grew all kinds of herbs and small vegetables. It not only gave him something to do but also provided fresh ingredients for his cooking. He shared his produce with the rest of us in the building, which was really heart - warming.

The woman was terrified but managed to call the police once she got her phone.
Sure. One real school lockdown story was when there was a threat in the neighborhood. The school immediately went into lockdown.

There was a story of a woman living alone during lockdown. She started receiving anonymous letters in her mailbox. The letters had disturbing drawings and words that seemed to know her every move.

As it turned out, it was a prank by a bored neighbor kid who thought it would be 'fun' during lockdown.
There were also stories of people losing their jobs suddenly. For instance, a restaurant worker. Lockdown meant the restaurant had to close.

One scary lockdown drill story I heard was from a school. The lights suddenly went out and there were these really loud banging noises outside the classroom.

One sad lockdown story could be about an elderly person living alone. During lockdown, they were completely isolated. Their family couldn't visit them due to restrictions.

My family decided to do a home - renovation project during the lockdown. We painted the living room together, changed the furniture layout, and hung new pictures on the walls. It was a challenging but also very fulfilling task. We made the living space more comfortable and beautiful, and the whole process was filled with family conversations and shared ideas.
