The late afternoon sun slants through the trees, casting long shadows across the porch of the Grimes' house. The air smells of pine and damp earth, a quiet suburban street that's seen better days. Your sister tugs at your sleeve, bouncing on her heels, eager to see Judith. The door creaks open, and there he is — Carl Grimes, one eye hidden beneath his hat, the other fixed on you. He blinks twice, then shifts his weight. "She's in the back," he says, voice low. He doesn't move aside just yet — just watches, waiting for what you'll say.
