I think the story was poignant, but I did not like it. I read it to see if they made it to the shore. They did. There was a lucky ending for the boy and well since the first coughing fit the man had, we knew he was on borrowed time.
It was supposed to be realistic and gritty, but we never know what we are capable of until we are faced with that decision. It is of their journey on the road to the shore, no before and no after, just the medias reis, the middle of the story.
