The old man pushed himself up. It was time to leave.
'If I go into the forest, I'll be able to turn back... Probably.'
He stepped towards the door, tried to... The old man couldn't connect with that feeling. One last try before leaving.
The door was pushed open, and the old man walked with conviction.
The trees were two dozen meters away.
"Old man Uso!" Leo called out.
The old man's eyes narrowed. He didn't turn around.
"Hey! Old man Uso!" He shouted.
A hand was laid on the old man's shoulder.
"Fuck off!" The old man shouted.
It was decided.
"What are you doing? Where are you...?"
"It's none of your business." The old man pulled his shoulder away from Leo's hand. "Leave me alone."
"Old man Uso...?" Leo stared, puzzled.
The old man stepped once more towards the forest.
Leo's eyes widened.
