The Quiet Life of Brister Mitten
In an era where people are increasingly moving out of their homes for work and life, 72-year-old Brister Mitten has remained rooted in his village for ten years. Now known as "The Last Hermit," his solitary existence has drawn both admiration and whispers of rumors.
Despite being asked by local authorities to leave his home, Brister Mitten has refused, citing "health issues" and "no desire to be around people." His neighbor, Mrs. Eliza Whitaker, described him as "the most peaceful man I've ever met." However, some villagers insist he's simply too quiet for a man who's lived through so many changes in the world.
Local officials have been trying to contact Brister Mitten, but he remains unreachable. A call to his mobile phone went unanswered, and a letter left at his door was returned as "not delivered." Despite this, he continues to live in his cottage, untouched and unoccupied, on the edge of the village.
In recent months, there have been reports of strange noises coming from his house—creaks, creaks, and occasional footsteps. Rumors spread online suggest that Brister Mitten might be preparing for something significant, though no one knows what.
Why He's Unreachable
- Missing Contact: His mobile number is listed as "unknown."
- No Delivery: Letters sent to his address were returned as "undelivered."
- Contact Attempts: Authorities have tried multiple times to reach him without success.
What the Villagers Say
Mrs. Eliza Whitaker: "He's such a quiet man, you wouldn't think someone so old would stay so busy."
John Smith: "I haven't seen him leave the house since 2011. He's like a ghost in this town."
Alice Johnson: "If he could see the changes we're seeing, he'd understand why people don't want to be around him."
Official Response
The village council has issued a statement: "Brister Mitten has requested to remain in his current residence. We respect his decision and continue our efforts to find him. If there's anything we can do to assist, please contact us at [email] or [phone]."
