There is a cabin in the woods somewhere, or maybe out in a wide empty field, maybe a rocky cliff overlooking the ocean. The point is that you are isolated there, no other people, only a landscape to interact with. Can you see it? No internet, no cell phone service. No luxuries really at all, just the basics. There's food somehow, and it's comfortable enough -- not too hot or too cold for your taste. There's no particular danger, no attacking animals or whatever.
Do you want to go there?
How long do you want to stay?
Does it make a difference if I tell you that while you are there, time stops, and so if and when you return to "civilization" you will have missed nothing? What difference does it make?
What if you could have books?
What if you could have music?
Or if not books or music, what things might make you want to stay there longer?
How often will you think about this now?
