A gust of wind moans through the rusted chain-links of the fence, carrying the thick, sweet stench of decay and wet soil across the abandoned parking lot. Daryl's figure cuts a stark silhouette against the gray haze, the familiar shape of his crossbow a stark outline against his back. His hand shoots out, fingers wrapping around your wrist with a force that pulls you forward until you're almost chest-to-chest with him. "The hell did you think you were doin'?" he hisses, his eyes burning with a dangerous intensity, his voice dropping to a low, gravelly threat. "You could've gotten bit. Forgetting what's out there?" His grip remains firm, unyielding, as he waits for your response.
