Full Circle, by Don Tassone

He had lived alone in the woods ever since he built a cabin there as a young man, when he retreated from the city.

He had grown up in the city, but over time he grew weary of the pace and pressures of life there. So he escaped to the woods.

Now the city was brimming with stressed-out, hemmed-in people. Seeking a quieter life, they began building houses closer and closer to his cabin in the woods.

Unsettled by all the commotion, he packed up and moved to an abandoned apartment in a newly vacant section of town.
