The place where I will die

 "Do not be afraid of death, it will come to you anyway! Better turn your face, smile and make friends with death."
 Indian philosopher, 6th century BC.

Today

 - Mrs. Irina, everything remains in force?
 -Yes.  Was the money transferred to my daughter's account?
 -Here's a screenshot.
 -Good.
 - The day after tomorrow I will sneak out of the house.  The road to point "a" will take two hours.  I ordered an air taxi yesterday when no one was at home.  But, remember our agreement, the shooting will begin only when I walk to point "b".  Not earlier.  That's why...
 - Miss Irina?
 - Sorry, I had another seizure!
 -How about...
 - No, everything stays the same.  What do you want, I can’t live forever, soon I will be one hundred and thirty years old!
 Are you sure you won't change your mind?  Advertising for this edition of the reality show is already in full swing.
 -Not.  I have no way back.  There are only two ways, the hospital room, and then the morgue, or a quiet death in nature, when I get to point "b".
 - But still... Doctors can keep you on painkillers if you are in severe pain.  And the place where you are going to go is far from civilization.
 - Painkillers don't help anymore. And here's another thing...
 -What?
 -Make sure that none of your staff blabbed to my family about my plans.  It's in your best interest.
 But they will see you on TV!
 - When I get to point "b" it won't matter anymore.

First day of the show

 - Mrs. Irina, why did you deceive us?  You said you'd be at point b the day after tomorrow, but you left home yesterday.
 -It was necessary.  What do you care?  The main thing for you is that I am here today.  I'm here?
 -Yes, but...
 - I had to make my own house out of snow, this is called a snow chum.  Well... And one more thing to cook.
 -What?
 -Ouch...
 -What's wrong with you?
 - All the same, it's called old age.  I have lived a good, long life.  All my dreams have come true.  I had a lot of love, I lived in a magnificent house.  My children and grandchildren love me. Before we married the man of my love, I had many lovers.  Yes, yes, don’t look at me like that, at one time I was ... In general, I wanted to say that you will find out everything in due time.
 - My team has arrived.  You can rest for now.
 -Good.  I will go to the chum.

 In one hour

 - Dear viewers, we are starting our reality show.  According to the terms of our show, Mrs. Irina, the main character, must live here, at point "b" for one three days.  Mrs. Irina is very sick, but, according to the terms of the show, she does not have painkillers with her. She has water, these three small bottles, food, in the full sense of the word, too.  There are only three small energy bars for three days.
 The manager passed on the information that our chat had already started working.  Let's see what they write to us.
 What?  Gentlemen of the audience, why is it so? Why do you write this?
 No one forces the heroine of the show to die of thirst and hunger.  Moreover, a doctor flew in with us to help Mrs. Irina, if necessary.  True, shh, she does not know about it. The heroine of the show can at any time refuse to continue the game and she will immediately be given water, food and medicine.  However, in this case, the game will be over and the prize pool will not be paid out!
 The prize fund of the show is huge.  If Mrs. Irina survives for three days without medicine, food and water, then a large, very large amount of money will be transferred to her relatives.  The prize fund is 500 million rubles, which is certainly less in dollars, but the dollar, as you know, is not popular with us today.
 An advance payment has already been sent to the account of Mrs. Irina's daughter.  Under the terms of the game, the advance, as you know, is paid regardless of the result.  The advance, of course, is not as huge as the prize fund, but still ... We have a call!
 Mrs. Irina's relatives are in touch. I will answer, and you look at this time advertising, dear viewers!
After advertising

 - And now, I'm with you again.  It was a fierce battle!  Ms. Irina's family wanted to fly in and take her home immediately, but our lawyer convinced them.  The lawyer explained to them that since Mrs. Irina is a capable member of society, she is free to dispose of herself as she pleases!
 Well, do you hear a familiar musical signal? Yes, yes, the show begins! And here is our heroine, let's get acquainted with Mrs. Irina.  Hello madam!
 - Good afternoon, madam!
 -Can I go to your tent?  The audience does not believe that you do not have food and water with you, they believe that you have hidden supplies somewhere.
 - Yes, please come in!  As you can see, the snow tent is an empty round space.  I ordered a round tent a very long time ago.  I brought a tent with me, set it up, smeared it with snow, yesterday there was just a thaw.  It's cold today, and the snow crust on the tent won't melt.
 -Are you going to sleep here?  What for?  We have prepared a place for you in a warm trailer, which the helicopter brought here.
 - No, I'll sleep in the trailer.  However, I will rest here during the day.
 -But...
 - Under the terms of the contract, I can spend the whole day where I want, right?
 -Yes.  But...
 - I have to spend the night in a trailer, under the guns of cameras, I agree with this.  But during the day I am left to myself.  The camera will follow me everywhere during the day, but sometimes I will need to catch my breath and be in silence, alone, even for an hour, this is also in the terms of the contract.
 -For this case, we have prepared a place for you in another trailer, where there are no cameras.  Every day, one hour of time, from 12 to 13 o'clock, yours.
 -Not.  I'm not sure that there are no cameras there, so I prepared a place for myself to rest myself.
 - However, Mrs. Irina, this is not possible ...
 -Why?  Is there a clause in the contract that I do not have the right to rest where I want?
 - No, there is no such item.  But, I don't like it!
 - I understand that you are afraid that I have hidden water and food here, and I will drink and eat to my heart's content until I am inaccessible to your cameras for an hour?  Well, search me!  Let's not get offended!
 - Madam, what are you suggesting?  No, I did not mean that.  And as far as I can see, it's impossible to hide anything here!  However... Yeah, what is it?
 - It's an emergency emergency door.  You can look out of it, it leads towards the lake. There are two doors in the design of the tent.  If you don't believe me, you can put guards near the second door!
 -Not.  I don't think this is necessary.

Second day of the show

 - Good morning, dear viewers!
 Our heroine woke up.  Let's greet her and ask how her night was!  Mrs. Irina, good morning, how did you sleep?
 - I had a great sleep!
 - Do you need medical attention?  Did you have enough water and food yesterday?
 - Yes, I ate the bar, and I even had some water left, here, a few sips!  I'll be able to stay on this water until lunchtime.  Do we have lunch at noon?
 -Yes.  What will you do today?
 -I will walk.  There is a lake behind my tent, I will walk on the ice, and then, after dinner, I will go for a walk in the forest.
 - Do you need medical attention?  Don't be shy, viewers know you have terminal cancer!  Are you in a lot of pain?  Just tell us and we will help you!
 - No, I don't need anything!  The air here is excellent, which is probably why I feel so great, as I have not felt for a long time!
 -Good!  You are well done!  Dear viewers of our show, in order to be sure that the show goes off without a hitch, we provided Mrs. Irina with clothes from designer Sokol. These are warm, comfortable clothes, heated clothes.  The only thing missing from this outfit is pockets.  You probably understand why this is done. Pockets are a place where you can hide food or medicine.  And according to the rules of the game, this should not happen.

 Third day of the show

 -Good afternoon, dear viewers!  Today is the third day of the show!  Our heroine did not look well in the morning, but again refused to help.  While Mrs. Irina is resting in her tent, or as she herself calls it, the plague, I will tell you a little secret.  According to the results of the voting of the audience, the show is already over. Let's listen to this sound together!  Yes, that sound means the show is over!  There is such a clause in the terms of the show. Viewers can decide by general vote that the show must be completed before the deadline.  The audience is very sorry for our heroine, who really behaves like a hero.  She touched the hearts of the audience.
 They voted that the show should be completed not tomorrow, in the morning, but today.  Therefore, after Mrs. Irina has a rest, we will inform her that she has won. The relatives of our heroine, along with an additional team of doctors, fly here in an air taxi provided by the organizers of the show.  By the way, Mrs. Irina doesn't know about this either. Well, the lunch break, or as Mrs. Irina calls it, the hour of silence, is over.  It's time to disturb our heroine!  I go in ... Oh, where is she? Maybe she went out through the back door?  Maybe she got mad?
 Sorry, there will be an ad.

Fourth day

 They won't find me. I've thought of everything.  I know this place very well, a year ago, when I realized that I was terminally ill, I climbed this place far and wide.  My family did not yet know about my illness and no one suspected anything.
 I've thought of everything.  The tent, the escape routes, I thought about all this during the long sleepless nights when I writhed in pain.  I didn't really need food these days, I didn't even finish eating their bars.  I buried the rest in the snow.  I need water, but it was also quite enough. I have not had an appetite for a long time, but if I had told the organizers of the show about this, there would have been no heat of the game.  After all, according to the terms of the show, I had to really want to eat, but get only one bar a day.  No, I’m still cunning, I wanted to eat, but if I had stayed at home, I wouldn’t have been able to fight with myself, but now ... Now, because of this bar diet, I feel an unprecedented lightness!  It's just getting harder and harder.  Phew, I'll rest! How painful it is!  The snow is so soft!  No, we can't relax yet, they might find me!  I haven't gone very far yet!  My task was to reach the place that I had prepared for myself in advance, and I will reach it!  Well, and what to dissemble?  I wanted to help my family financially!  Even if I had not lasted the allotted time, my relatives would still have an advance! But, I held out!  I heard a signal that meant the show was over!  I am thirsty!  There is so little water left!  God, what a fool I am!  I can eat snow!  It's clean and untouched!  No germs! Ridiculous, I'm going to die and I think about not getting infected when I eat snow!  Phew, you can relax!  My first stop.  This is where I dug my first tent.  I won’t make a chum, I’ll just rest in the tent, and then I’ll bury it again when I go further so that they don’t find my traces.

Fifth day

 It's so cold. There is almost no strength left.  However, you have to go.  I don't want wild animals to attack me when I sleep. My second tent is in a ravine, I dug it out with difficulty.

 Sixth day

 A year ago, I built a small platform on a tree.  It is not high above the ground, I even made notches that look like steps to easily climb the platform.  A year ago, I did it without difficulty.  But now...
 Now I have no strength.  I fell near a tree and lay there until evening.  In my delirium, my beloved men came to me, my beloved G.Y. was with me the longest.  He whispered in my ear that he was waiting for me and loved me as before, and then I opened my eyes.  It was getting dark.  I had a good rest, but still the way up to the platform was difficult for me.  And here I am.  The platform is covered in snow.  I lay down and almost fell into a snow blanket. However, how much snow this winter!  Before I left, I looked at the forecast.  Soon it will snow again.  And it will go on for three days.  Well, this is the future I chose.  May it be so!
