William Shakespeare is one of several writers who produced great works when stuck behind closed doors (he was in quarantine when he wrote King Lear.)

Good grief! There's gooey, sticky fondant everywhere!! Quick, where's the soap, we're all covered in the stuff!

They all fell silent, the wind was now howling around the windows. Suddenly there was a crash and the candles fluttered and died.
