PC PowerPlay Humour column (Cormac McCarthy parody)
The Road
This is the way the world ends: with both a bang, and a whimper
An excerpt. The full piece is live at the link below.
The road stretches out toward the grey horizon, cracked, potholed, empty. The first man shuffles slowly, his feet bound in garbage bags and duct tape. The second man walks by his side, more evenly but still with his back bent, almost broken.
Above them, ash drifts from the blank sky. Coating the road, coating the splintered remains of the trees. Coating the low walls, the rubble, the waste.
