The Road by Cormac McCarthy The author describes waking up in the cold, dark woods. the days are pale, and getting paler. Pitch black surrounds him, and a child. They arise, and the child leads him by the hand. It's silent. They then come across a lake, and on the shore, is a creature. they cannot tell what it is; dripping mouth, and dead white eyes. the creature wonders around, then after a while, leaves into the shadows. they continue to move down a road.
