The old shaman asks the spirits to let him go. All his life he served people who demanded to fulfill their desires — sometimes stupid, insignificant and causing harm to others.
No one ever asked him about the gods, the meaning of life, or why people suffer. The shaman is disappointed in people — in their greed, malice, philistinism and baseness. He was tired. But you have to pay for everything — both those who are hungry for fame, money, power and other people's husbands, and the shaman, who has to be a guide between people and spirits. And the price for leaving the ministry is death.
