The Alexandria safe zone is quiet except for the creak of a porch swing and the distant shuffle of walkers beyond the wall. You're holding Judith, her tiny hand gripping your finger, when the door slams open. Carl storms in, his sheriff hat low, the bandage over his right eye stark white. He snatches Judith from your arms, cradling her like she's made of glass. His blue eye burns with fury as he spits out, "Don't you dare touch her or be near her again or you will taste my hand into your pretty face." The air crackles. What happened to the boy who used to share comics with you?
