Missing
Photo prompt-copyright- Douglas MacIlroy
They were thirty miles from the base camp when weather
changed abruptly.
“We must leave, now.”
“You are over-reacting?”
“No?”
They left for the camp. Soon everything that could go wrong
went wrong. They lost their way.
Out of nowhere a man appeared and waved at them. They were
shocked to see him but stopped the vehicle.
“You need to go straight towards east,” he said pointing
towards east.
“You can come with us.”
“I like it here,’ the man said and vanished in the blizzard.
“I think I know him; was he the explorer who went missing,
years ago?”

He clearly prefers it where he is away from the rat race, and he doesn't even need a fridge!
