The sun was about to say goodbye to us. The shining sky was vanishing onto dark. Even the forest was bidding a bye. But one person was nonchalantly laying on the couch, moving his legs back and forth in an automated way.
The old man who was finishing his daily chores went past him several times to get his tasks complete. Today he was in a hurry for some reason. Loki didn't ask him what the purpose of doing things at this fast rate as he didn't feel like it.
The old man grabbed the shotgun that he brought when the bear attacked and unconditionally returned it to its respective place. Not that it would do any harm leaving where it was. The old man is a well-organized human being. That's why he didn't like things all messed up. Loki did know it when he first entered the house. Everything in this house was correctly placed. If the old man found anything that was out of place, he would fix it immediately. Even the glasses were washed every hour by him.
After wrapping up his work, the old man came near Loki who was idly playing with his arms.
"Get ready. We are leaving in an hour."
"Where? Isn't outside full of bears? I don't want to get hunt by them. There are scary creatures." As Loki was telling he was fantasizing about the time when the bear attacked.
"You're still hanging on that Loki? Move on would you?" The old man casually laughed.
"How could I? That thing was dreadful as hell."
Loki's body shivered for a moment.
"Come get up. We have to get to the gas pump so that you could contact your friends. Moreover, we have to return home before it gets too dark. The forest is full of wild creatures."
Then the old man went to his room to get his truck's key. Meanwhile, Loki got up from his laying posture. He mumbled something but it wasn't so clear. The old man came with his truck's key.
"Okay, Let's go." Both of them stepped onward into the unknown. Well, It was actually unknown though.
An old rusty truck was parked next to the house. It wasn't that dirty as expected from the old man. The old man unlocked the driver seat with his key. When entered he unlocked the next door using the keypad right second to him. He waved his hand in response to Loki to say him it's safe to enter the truck. Loki pushed out the door and get onto the truck. The engine started, weird noises emitted from the truck. Massive amounts of black smoke pumped out of the truck through the back pipe situated down the back of the truck.
Loki coughed a few times as he breathed in quite a lot of smoke. The old man noticed it and so he offered him some water to drink. He politely refused his offerings as he was at the end of his coughing.
The wheel of the truck rolled in the response of the old man.
They were on their way to the gas station.
