ridiculous ending!!


SPOILER AHEAD!
If the ending was meant to depict that the protagonist (John) died because he couldn't climb out of the pit he dug, IT'S RIDICULOUS.
1) The shovel was within reach. He could use it to form a kind of dirt ramp.
2) Even without the shovel, he could use his left (uninjured) hand to pull dirt away from the side of the pit, forming a ramp.
3) He could attempt to climb up on the girl's body.
