Ordeal of man in gorse 'jungle'

"Mr Bowen, a father of one, of West Road, Filey, said: 'I just wanted to go for a walk because obviously I was very unhappy. I spotted some undergrowth. I thought it looked a bit jungly.'"

Little did this guy know he'd soon be unintentionally reenacting the premise from J.G. Ballard's "Concrete Island."

The sad thing is that I can relate to him, in a general existential sense.
