They bought all the toilet paper, then the produce and the canned goods.
I lost my non-essential job.
How will I feed my family?
The nursery man gave me credit, compost, soil, seeds, and pots. I planted our family garden.

The Story Behind this Story
Justin Deming, publisher of the former Medium publication, The Friday Fix, announced his first Twitterzine word prompt on @fix_friday:
Opposites: Abundance / Scarcity
The first visual that popped into my head was the e
mpty shelves in our grocery stores from SARS-CoV-2 (COVID 19) panic buying. Scarcity.
The second visual? My friends’ wonderful home garden they planted this year. The rich compost and soil nutrients have produced an abundance that enables them to give some vegetables away to neighbors and friends. I combined the two mental images and came up with this story.
