Last will of a mother about the futur of her younger son. The elder brother looking for feed him. The high price of this task. And the sacrifice of his wife as solution.

At first sight, a well crafted short horror.

The pressure for care reminding Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, inclusive for final part. A story about vulnerability, insecurity, hungry and explotation , about love, in different its aspects, and, not the last, about the reasonable solution after a tragic event defining, more precise than words, the essence of reality.
