His men had begun gathering the wounded or stunned into a small group some distance back up the slope. Here and there an animal or human stirred, but not many. There were few cries of pain or fear now. Mostly, it was eerily quiet. Even the insects had ceased their music. Derek Donais
About This Quote

The last few words of the novel "The Road" are leaving us with a firm image of the post-apocalyptic landscape. The narrator is giving us an account of how he and his friends are making their way through this bleak landscape, moving from one dead civilization to the next, scavenging for supplies. They are traveling along a long, winding path, though no one has ever mapped this path or even where it leads. At the end of the day, they gather at a small campfire for dinner. The group is quiet as they share stories and jokes around the firelight.
