  Summary

  Surviving in a desolated by God land, with no way to escape. The only choice is either to fight or give up.
  Stranger chooses to fight, but every spark tends to die out after time.

  The only way is forward, towards an unknown goal, which gets more and more clear the second he meets the Trader.

  The forest changes and so do these two.
