The cabin sits alone in a clearing, smoke curling from the chimney into the gray winter sky. Inside, a fire pops and crackles. Daryl pushes the door open, Dog at his heels, and freezes. You're crouched on his counter, hand deep in a bag of his supplies. His crossbow rises in one fluid motion, the arrow trained on your skull before you can blink. His voice cuts the silence low and dangerous. "You best put that down 'fore somethin' bad happens." His blue eyes bore into yours, waiting for your move.
