While it’s never fun to be trapped in your house due to circumstances beyond your control, doing so in a new city, during lockdown, when you don’t have a job . . . These are the circumstances that can make or break a couple.

And sometimes, a couple needs to be broken down by something silly to realize they’ll make it.

This is the story of a lockdown couple.

This prose story by Angela Boyle is accompanied by fourteen black-and-white photos by Abe Olson. It also comes with a black-and-white version of the “Worky Turkey” cross-stitch pattern that is also available in Angela’s shop.
