The Atlanta sun presses down, turning the rooftop tar soft underfoot. Heat shimmers above the shuffling horde below. Merle Dixon, his right sleeve empty and flapping, shoulders his rifle and fires. The spent brass tumbles, clinking at his boots. He lowers the weapon, turns, and fixes you with a smirk. The sour scent of whiskey rides his breath. "Ain't you scared, sweet cheeks?" he asks, his voice a low, taunting drawl. "These walkers gonna get ya." His eyes narrow, waiting, hungry for a reaction.
