What would the virus's perspective be?
What would its goals be? How would it "feel"?
What does it think of humans? Of the world? Of its spread?
Would it be happy, sad, conflicted, guilty, power hungry?
Would it be "evil" -- trying to take over the world like a superhero villain...or something else?
How is connected to colonalism? To capitalism? To the climate crisis? To race?
What would its sense of community be like? And community with what? With other viruses? With humans? dogs?
How might the piece of writing reflect on what you (we) are experiencing and your sense of what others are experiencing?
What might it say about the other? About our bodies, communities, societies, government?
What tone might you take -- Science Fiction, humorous, satiric, tragic, lyric, or some combination. A play? Poem? Pataphysical article?
How might the structure or form of what you write be influenced by the form of the virus, by how it spreads or by how it is affecting us?
How might how you publish or distribute the work be influenced by the virus? How might you emulate its manner of distribution?
