Self-desertion

The unproclaimed hermitage is self-imposed. The habitations are expensive. The office, too, shielding a whole group. It doesn't feel like a monastery, because of hideous idiots shouting into phones. Some giggle while spitting at screens. It does have the lack of amenities of a ruined abbey. No running water, no usable utensils. The operation is a hideaway, in retreat from any meaningful activity. The seclusion is self-generated, by offensive residents.
