Opis

The year 2020: The coronavirus is looming over the human world. A crispy roasted bat has coughed onto the plate. Zoonosis. The unknown virus is spreading across the planet and among people, who are reacting with fear. The governments of their societies must implement hygiene measures to prevent mass deaths, including in the Land of the Setting Sun, a large state with a free and democratic order. Among those alarmed by the media coverage of the coronavirus is Ester the Donkey, a low but conscientious and diligent workhorse of the Land of the Setting Sun society, who wants to earn the juicy carrot that dangles in front of his nose. He performs his daily work at the company of Canneloni the Lurch, a decent and upright benefactor and business man who belongs to the higher animals. However, the measures taken by their deserving representatives to contain the deadly virus present them with unequal challenges. A bizarre journey begins that will turn the world upside down and lead into a dark nightmare.

"The Corona-Lurch" is a sick retro science fiction story that describes a fictional future that has already been tested in the past. Déjà vu?
