Cautiously avoiding other survivors from "summary" of The Road by Cormac McCarthy
The man and the boy traveled the road with caution, always keeping an eye out for other survivors. They knew that in a world stripped bare by catastrophe, other human beings could be just as dangerous as any threat posed by the environment itself. They had learned through experience that it was best to avoid contact with strangers, to keep to themselves and to trust no one outside their small circle. They had seen the ways in which desperation could drive people to commit unspeakable acts, how the need for survival could turn even the most ordinary person into a potential threat. And so they walked the road with a wary eye, always ready to disappear into the shadows at the first sign of another living soul. They knew that their survival depended on their ability to stay hidden, to blend in with the desolate landscape around them. They moved silently, their footsteps muffled by the ash that covered the ground, their faces obscured by the hoods of their coats. They spoke in whispers, their words carried away by the wind, leaving no trace of their presence behind. They knew that the world had become a place where trust was a luxury that could not be afforded, where every stranger was a potential enemy and every encounter a potential threat. And so they kept their distance, always on guard, always ready to disappear at a moment's notice. For the man and the boy, the road was a place of constant danger, where every step could lead them into the path of someone who might do them harm. And so they walked with caution, always alert, always ready to vanish into the shadows if the need arose. In this harsh and unforgiving world, survival meant staying one step ahead of the dangers that lurked around every corner.
