A 50,000-word ethnographic story was written at the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic. This was revised to become a short story emphasizing the critical themes reflecting the refugee experience. It begins with a prospectus exploring the theoretical framework, then the two main sections follow, and it ends with an afterword. Research articles were analyzed that included works by Edward Said, John W Berry, and Braun and Clarke to provide a foundation for the text. Qualitative research methods such as virtual field notes, journaling, and personal conversations have provided the knowledge to construct this text. As a refugee whose every day was not promised, this text sheds light on the unspoken anecdotes of a refugee’s journey.
