Richard Rogers

Suzie is passionately in love with Taryn. Unable to join him on holiday in Peru, she longs for his return. But as the Covid pandemic worsens, Peru goes into lockdown. She struggles to make contact, but he’s never been a great communicator at the best of times. And then she discovers what’s been posted online…

It appears that, far from being locked down, Taryn is getting about just fine. In fact, he's having the time of his life in his tropical paradise hideaway. And far from social distancing, he’s enjoying the company of a beautiful new friend.

Peruvian stand-off is a short story from the series Love (and hate) in a time of Covid. The stories get under the skin of everyday people under exceptional circumstances. The new challenges of everyday living bring out the best and worst in a diverse set of characters, revealing hope and desperation in equal measures.

Love (and hate) in a time of Covid

Peruvian stand-off

A stranger emerges out of a brilliant dawn. His appearance is rough and dangerous. His touch starts to change the world.

A factory breaks down and the sea erupts. A prisoner escapes and runs to his victim. A youth is stopped with her knife. A Covid nurse drags herself from her shift. A young woman faces pregnancy while an old man faces death. And the town where they all live is being ripped apart.

Some of the people are happy, while others are scared. Is the stranger there for good or bad? And is everything all as it seems?
