This week, in our final Stories of COVID-19 series, we bring you stories about managing the fear the pandemic introduced into our lives.

Part 1: A disagreement about COVID-19 precautions drives a wedge between Archy Jamjun and his partner.

Part 2: Julie Grace Immink tries to hide her fear from her young son when her husband is hospitalized for COVID-19.

Archy Jamjun is the curator of Outspoken LGBTQ Stories at Sidetrack. He is a two time winner of The Moth Grand Slam, a guncle, and has been published by BarrelHouse and The Coachella Review.

Julie Grace Immink is a photojournalist based in Milwaukee. She works on documentary projects about the human condition. Her working-class upbringing has inspired her work to focus on the socio-economic landscape of subcultures and communities. You can also find her kayaking the wilds of the Midwest or talking to strangers (the stranger the better). See her work at: juliegracephotography.com or on Instagram @FORMandGROOVE
