the story is inspired from the Spanish civil war.
meaning that I took place years ago in a country side which is the setting of the story.
The animals left by the old man at the bridge is from the beginningis doomed to death but the narrator tries to bluff the old man to make him less worried. the thing is that the pets have higher rate of survival than the old man.
but fortunately the fascist didn't attack that day. the underlying theme is that the old man actually signifies the liberals who were defeated during the civil war.He is wearing black dusty clothes and has a gray dusty face, suggesting what he has been through.. He is too tired to go any further. If he stays where he is sitting he would probably get summarily executed by the Fascist forces, who are taking draconian reprisals against Spanish civilians. But he doesn't have the strength to stand up and continue fleeing, and he doesn't seem to care. He has nowhere to go, no future.
He has lost everything that was of importance to him. That was how the Spanish Loyalists felt after being defeated by the reactionary forces of Generalissimo Francisco Franco, aided and abetted by Hitler and Mussolini.
