The other two endings

When I saw half of it, I thought of an ending: everyone starved to death and died of illness one after another. In the end, only father and son were left on the earth. Then the father died of illness on the beach by the sea, and the son stayed by his father's body, becoming the last human being on the earth. The method of starvation ended the human domination of the earth for thousands of years. After hundreds of thousands of years, the sea disappeared and the desert covered more than 90% of the earth. The barren, desolate and lifeless earth made it impossible for any life to survive. A huge and ugly disc-shaped machine landed on the desert. No aliens or humanoids came out of the machine. After a few years, the machine became longer and wider. Ten kilometers, suddenly one day, a huge door opened, and came out a very tall boy, about 5-6 meters tall, God! This is the last boy to starve to death next to his father's body, wow! There is another, no, it's a group of boys, girls... The disc-shaped machine found the boy's remains more than a thousand meters underground in the desert, extracted DNA, and created another kind of human being. They walked out of the disc-shaped machine and began to transform Earth.

After reading it, I thought of another ending. After the death of the father, the child followed the family of four + the dog and continued to go south. Soon after, the family of four died from the father, then the mother, then the son, and finally Hope - the daughter and the dog are also dead, and finally the boy is left alone, continue to go south, never meet another person, no man, no woman, no old man, no child, no dog, the sky is getting darker The darker it gets, only the boy's weak body is walking south step by step.

The Road quotes

  • The Man: The clocks stopped at one seventeen. There was a long shear of bright light, then a series of low concussions. I think it's October but I can't be sure. I haven't kept a calender for years. Each day is more gray than the one before. It is cold and growing colder as the world slowly dies. No animals have survived, and all the crops are long gone. Someday all the trees in the world will fall. The roads are peopled by refugees towing carts, and gangs carrying weapons, looking for fuel and food.

    The Man: Within a year there were fires on the ridges and deranged chanting. There has been cannibalism. Cannibalism is the great fear. Mostly I worry about food, always food. Food and the cold and our shoes. Sometimes I tell the boy old stories of courage and justice, difficult as they are to remember. All I know is the child is my warrant, and if he is not the word of God, then God never spoke.

  • Wife: My heart was ripped out of me the night he was born.
