A letter to "the man"

Dear “the man”

I wish that you’re doing okay with your son. As I read through the book, I realized that you got such a burden on your back since you have to survive from the risky surrounding and to take care of your little son at the same time. The book doesn’t have any direct or specific mention about how the world has come to the end. So, I don’t know how you got into all this chaotic mess, but the description of where you’re at tells me it would’ve been something to do with a volcano eruption or a disaster related with fire since you described the setting full of ashes and dust. It makes me think that everything might have happened all of a sudden, because there aren’t any people survived except for you and your son so far in the story.
Oh, and in your dialogue, I easily understand that the boy is your son, but otherwise, the relationship seems like just a man with a boy, neither of them knowing each other well. But still, he is the only one you can rely on, isn’t he? Yeah, even though he’s much younger than you, it seems like you’re also learning something from him. Related with that, I came up with some questions about your family. Where’s your wife? You didn’t mention about her directly in the conversations. I feel really sorry and it might be rude to ask, but, has something bad happened to her? It seems like you are under the double pressure to cover the mother’s part at the same time! Well, your son is mature enough, compared to other boys in his age, (even though I don’t know how old he is, I can guess he isn’t as old as I) but he has nightmares and every childish problem and you are the one who should take care of all of them.
Besides, you are having a hard time with heading to the south, right? It’s cold, ashes are all over, sometimes snowing, the cart isn’t working well, you are out of food… Almost everyday, you are facing the brand-new problems and it looks like it’s never going to end. Your son is thinking a negative way, and you are as critic as him about the situation you are having. But I don’t recommend you to be that way. It’s going to make it worse unless you think, ‘We can get over it no matter what!’ Even though you guys are the only humans survived on the Earth, there is always hope. And it isn’t the end of the story! I know and understand how depressing it might be! But at least you survived from that horrible apocalypse. You should feel grateful for that one. Remember your wife, and every innocent people who died. You are the one who has to lead the Earth back to what it was like. I’ll look forward to hearing good news about you in the book. Don’t lose hope! And if you can’t avoid the adventure, just enjoy it! Good luck! Send my regards to your little smarty-pants, too!
