Back !

He was back from a glorious vacation...a much needed break deep in the mountains, with one of his best friends and nature. But that was the problem...he was back. He didn't want to be back. The break showed him how much he really needed to get out of here. Never before had he felt this urge to leave...yet now he felt it, but the chains of obligation held him there. He had had a choice, a choice to leave, but unseen forces had prevented him from leaving. He had chosen to stay, a decision that now pierced his heart like a freshly plucked extra thorny cactus from a desert. He used to stare blankly at the roof sometimes, remembering the good days of his vacation, missing his friend, and wishing he never had to come back in the first place.
And so he set it all in motion...to leave. It would take work, it would take lot of work, and it would also take trying to handle the unseen forces. But leave he will. This place now suffocated him with an iron grip. There was nothing for him here !! He wished he had a mule as a companion right now, so that he could ask it politely to kick him thirty five times on his backside for choosing to stay. But there was no mule to kick him, just his own imagination. But ah he will not give up !! Even a momentary respite from this place would be good !! Not for vacation this time...oh no ! But to for actual tasks, tasks that he would have otherwise done here. Yes, he will find a way out !!
His mates had thrown a small snowball down a very long path in his mountain...by now it was gathering lot of steam and snow...and the roll continued...
