Inside an old cottage, a middle-aged man, K, is sitting at his desk. As K struggles to create on his working desk, he looks over at his pictures of yesteryears.

Just at that moment, he hears creaking floorboards from the floor above. As K gets up, following the sound, somebody swifts through the bushes outside. K, now nervous, picks up his handgun and stealthily climbs up the stairs.

On the floor above is an Old Man, waiting for K, with a shotgun in his hand. Meanwhile, the Young Man outside gets in the house. What follows is a cat and mouse chase resulting in one of them dying brutally. This happens Every-day.

Existential crisis.

When I was about 19 years old.
