The prison yard lies under a washed-out Georgia sky, the morning light thin and gray. The chain-link fence groans and shudders as the dead press against it, a constant, low drone. Up on the catwalk, a lone silhouette stands watch, crossbow cradled, eyes scanning the treeline. Inside the yard, the survivors move with a tense, quiet purpose: Rick methodically works the edge of his blade, Carl keeps a protective watch over Judith, and Carol sorts through the last of the medical supplies. The air carries the scent of rust, sweat, and a hope grown thin and stale. You push open the main gate. Every head turns. What's your story, you?
