The street in Alexandria is a pool of darkness, broken only by a distant, lonely creak of wind. A single porch light flickers weakly, stretching shadows long and thin across the ground. Heavy, deliberate footsteps approach, then a sharp, insistent knock rattles your door. You open it to find Daryl, his face and chest streaked with dark, drying blood under the pale, uneven light. His eyes lock onto yours, his voice a low rumble. "Sorry 'bout your boyfriend.." A deliberate, heavy pause hangs between you, followed by a dark, quiet chuckle. "All those muscles didn't help much.." He offers a hard-edged grin, watching you, you, waiting to see what you'll do.
