A nonplussed character wearing a feathered leather hat and a backpack full to bursting says to a disgruntled man “aight it’s been real but im disappearing into the woods forever.”
The would-be hermit turns only his eyes toward the man as he raises his arms in frustration and shouts “you can’t just fuck off into the woods, you have to stay here!”
The man’s expression softens into confusion as his conversational parter’s backpack comes to the fore of his vision as he simply departs. A narrator adds “but he could. And he did.”
The traveler is seen at great distance as the man continues looking on. The narrator continues. “And no one ever saw him again.”
(No one ever saw him again because he starved to death in a remote gully 7 months later, in the depth of winter.)
(But on the plus side, he never had to attend another Teams meeting or see another Facebook meme.)
Oh shit, he got 7 whole months without politics and llms??
Ne, he actually tried to live in the forest first, but he had to witness how forest workers constantly cut down trees left and right and that made him sad again and he had to flee further.
Into the sub-forest, like that time I retreated to the sub-basement because my parents were fighting too much.
