I really liked your story @hlezama. At first I thought it was the aging process that caused him not to go to the market. But after reading the backstory, I understood the complexities that we all face at one time or another. Good job.

Thanks, @pyemoney. I tried to keep it ambiguous enough. I think it is better when it is left to interpretations. New meanings emerge, some we did not even think about. Even though age was not directly involved, tireness (physical and mental exhaustion) played a role in this character's defeat.
I recently had a knee injury and my daughter came over to take care of me and I thought about all the times that I had taken care of her when she was younger. So that’s why I immediately thought about the aging process.
