And alone we walk

I think we can all agree that there is no worse feeling than that feeling of loneliness. That feeling we all get when we are little and think nobody in this world, not even our parents, can understand us and, therefore, we stand alone in this big world. Of course we get over this quite easily, after all, we are only children. But, what if this was actually true? Literally true?  

In this book we encounter the story of father and son who walk alone. Literally alone. The Earth is deserted, for some yet to be discovered reason. Earth appears to have been through some kind of nuclear war due to the way it is described as a barren and completely desolate place. This father has to take care of a boy who wasn’t even born before Earth suffered such devastation with the meager supplies he has been able to scrape together throughout the years and those they are lucky enough to come by when they encounter destroyed shops or even houses.

When reading this book we notice that, something has happened that destroyed everything that covered the Earth’s surface and the little survivors around are trying to make due with what ever they can find within the debris. But, most importantly, we notice that this characters move around as if some people are following them. We can also understand that this people are dangerous due to who the father is always so careful as not to leave any races of their existence and, also, he carries a gun at hand all the time with the conviction of someone who knows he will need to use it at a moments notice
