Two significant elements:
The setting:
Throughout this story, the author describes what the characters are seeing on their journey south. This is important, because the reader doesn't really know for sure what has happened, whether it was an explosion, or an apocalypse that made the world collapse into darkness. I find the setting to be a significant element to this story, because without it I don't think you could get as well connected with the characters during their 'mishaps'
The Pistol:
The pistol is definitely a significant element to this story. All throughout it, it is used as their protection, and it is their last resort if too big of danger arrives in their way ( In other words,they think it'd be better to shoot themselves, then get caught by any groups) Without the pistol, I think they would've needed to be many times more cautious, or they could've already been killed.
