[Short Story] The Old Man

[Remilia Scarlet]

Literally a short story. I heard this one from a friend.

An old man who lived by himself realized that he had closed the door more times than he had opened it.

Let that one sit and boil for a while :P

The keyword is "More times than he had opened it."
That is deep stuff...

[Lord_Jacobus1]

I get it! Of course I'm not telling anyone what the secret is.

IF THE OLD MAN IS SO SMART, WHY DO DOLPHIN'S LIVE IN INGLOOS THEN

Anyways... that is really deep xD

This story can have two meanings.

One is somewhat sad and tragic, that he didn't do anything meaningful with his life, while the other one would make for a horror story.

Could it be that somebody else opened the door, leading to the old man closing the front door of his house more times than he had opened it?

The old man lived by himself, so nobody else could have opened the door other than him, so if he closed the door more times than he had opened it, then someone else is in the house with him...

@Trouble

The old man opens the door to his front house and closes it as he enters. After a short amount of time, he comes back to close the door again because he sees the door is open. He spends a little bit of time trying to figure out why the door was open, and comes to the conclusion that he forgot to close the door, that his mind must be addled from old age.

After a short amount of time, he comes back and sees that the door is open again, but this time he realizes that he did close the door the first and second time around, and that he closed the door more times than he had opened it, meaning that somebody else had to have opened the door. Why? Because he is the only person living there.

Get it now?

The old man is never alone.

[Lord_Jacobus1]

Wait, who was the old man? That's what I want to know.

[SUSTIC]

@Lord_Jacobus

Uh... you in the future?

Anyways I agree with S121's answer.

[Lord_Jacobus1]

...Really? I'm going to be the old man in the future? That sucks.

@Redleaf

We now know the culprit! XD

@Jacobus

Better lock your door next time.




Nevermind, that's a bad idea.

An even sadder outlook is that even though people come, he sees them leave and has to close the door behind them.
Or...something like that.
I can't explain very well how it works. =w=;

[S121]

@Cucoo

No, no, I get it.

He hates to see his guests leave.

@ S121

...that's kinda what I was thinking. Ya let's run with that.
Because to a degree, I don't know what I was thinking meself ^^;
All I do know was that it was similar.
