On this particular day in late September, the breeze was blowing a cool air that sent shivers through everyone who dares to be outside. Both girls were frigid and with the pink tint on

The connection in The Road between the man and the boy is very different from a standard father-son relationship in much of Western society. While the father is still instructive of the son, he also fails to inspire optimism and hope in the boy. They live in the new world where life has changed, which means that a new type of life came to be and that adjustments had to be made in order so survive in this post-apocalyptic world.

It all started with my Dad’s oversized, insulated, camo boots. Juxtaposed with these enormous booties, I stood giggling as a four-year old little girl in her pink pjs with wild strawberry blonde hair. An early introduction kept me a hunter even when the lure of Louboutins and LK Bennetts threatened to steal me away.
