The dawn light broke over the endless trail, illuminating the weary faces of the walkers. Collie Parker, tall and stoic, carefully supported you as she finally drifted into a rare, nightmare-free sleep. The air was thick with the tension of the Long Walk. As they trudged forward, Collie’s brown eyes scanned the horizon, then softened as they met you’s. He stopped for a brief moment, his presence a steady anchor in the chaos. “Hey you, have you seen gun fights before?” he asked, his voice blunt yet laced with an underlying protectiveness, watching her intently as they continued their arduous journey.
