The old man’s journey.

The old man had woken up this morning stressed and had no clue why. He did whatever he could to clear his head but nothing did the trick, Then he sat down to think about why he could be feeling that way. It took him two hours and still no answer so maybe some fresh air may help, he didn’t grab anything he just made sure the house key was under the pot plant for when he got back, and he was on his way. He couldn’t keep track of how far he’d gone or for how long but no matter what, he still had that same feeling on his mind. By that time he had walked down a street he’d never been down before that led to a hill, so why not, he kept on walking. It wasn’t a hill with houses it was a hill with forestry look all round. it also had a forestry feeling, the air actually smelt fresh and clean, and at that moment he smiled and felt a load of stress come off of him. He liked this area, it made him feel lovely he kept walking and managed to reach the top he looked out at what was in front of him, it was the ocean. by then a breeze came by and that’s what cleared the old mans head, He had been living in the same old house since his wife died 11 years ago and ever since felt the pressure to stay in the same house.
