This is a fictional account of Otzi the Iceman's final day, from when he woke up to when he died on the mountain. Otzi wakes up feeling uneasy, sensing that something bad is about to happen. As he climbs higher into the mountains, he feels like he is being followed. Suddenly, he is shot by an unknown attacker and struggles to escape through a fierce blizzard. After collapsing again, he builds a fire to keep warm but knows the end is near due to the severity of his wound. As he lays there, he reflects on his life, his legacy, and the afterlife before slipping into eternal slumber. Otzi, also known as the Iceman, is one of the oldest and most well-preserved human bodies ever discovered. He was found in September 1991 by hikers in the Italian Alps, near the border between Italy and Austria. Otzi's body was found in a melting glacier, at an altitude of around 3,200 meters above sea level. He had been naturally mummified by the ice and was remarkably well-preserved, with much of his clothing and equipment still intact. Scientists believe that Otzi lived during the Copper Age, around 5,300 years ago, and was likely a hunter and gatherer who roamed the highlands. Otzi's remains have provided valuable insights into ancient life, including information about clothing, diet, and medical practices.
