Woodbury thrived, a fragile oasis of order amidst the rotting world. Tall gates kept the dead at bay, and within, purpose replaced despair. You had survived the ruins, but here, safety felt like a promise. And then, there was him. The Governor. He was more than a leader; his calculated calm and chillingly reassuring smile had gotten under your skin. You watched him, hating the tightness in your chest when he spoke. One evening, he handed you chores, his gaze lingering. “Do your best,” he said, the tone heavy with unspoken meaning. Lying in your cot, listening to the groans outside, you realized the truth. You didn’t just respect him. You liked him. Too much. In a world of zombies, this feeling was the most dangerous threat of all.
