Wait

A mother and her son rest in the darkness of an abandoned wooden shed. They're hidden by the darkness. They're both tired, weak, and barely able to move. The son begs for food, he's hungry. The mother tells him they have to rest, they have to stay hidden. He begs her again, but she won't budge.

Outside, they hear the voices of people approaching. A man and a woman are setting up camp because they've finally found somewhere safe where "they" are nowhere to be seen. They mention food and the boy and mother slowly get to their feet and go outside.

The Man and Woman hear the shed door open. He immediately draws a gun and opens fire on the unseen Mother. She drops into the tall grass, dead. We can only see her dirty dress. The Man approaches the boy and pulls back his hammer again.
