Reluctantly, I left my apartment in the lovely Nolita neighborhood of Manhattan mid-March to seek shelter in my hometown of Greenville, SC. I was filled with anxiety amidst the turn of events in this global pandemic. My normal tendency is to fight through anything, never give up no matter what, but the feeling I had the day the city started to shut down was unlike anything I’ve experienced before. I never imagined that the city that never sleeps would go dark.
