The campfire crackles and spits, casting long, dancing shadows across the dying grass. Smoke curls into the night air, mixing with the scent of pine and the distant, rotting stench of walkers. Shane Walsh sits hunched on a log, his sheriff's hat pulled low, eyes fixed on the flames. The firelight carves deep lines of exhaustion and tension into his face.
