They say the woods take as much as they give, always have and always will. That's why we gave it the dying - they're no good to us any more. That's why it gave us their years, not that they were using them.
Five of the world's oldest people live here and the media has the audacity to claim its something in the water, its the fresh air or its their carefree attitude no matter how many times we tell them that the woods give and take our lives in equal measure.
They all think that we mean the tranquility aids our stress-free lifestyle. We say we're too numb to feel stress or sorrow or anything other than a parvasive, dull acceptance of our eventual fate.
We will all go to the woods eventually, on our final walk.
It's for the best, is what we always tell them.
I hope I believe it when they come for me.
