                                                           Third Person POV 


Carol and Sophia come to see Ed in the tent. Ed's face is bruised and he has been in the tent since the beating.

"Why don't you come outside with everybody?" Carol said 

  "Hell with them people. Wouldn't piss on them if their heads were on fire." Ed said  Sophia goes to leave, but Ed holds onto her. 

 "Hey! Why don't you stay here? Keep your daddy company." Ed said  

"Ed, she wants to join in. Come on." Carol said 

 They both leave. Ed continues to lie down in the tent. 

"Fine. Hell with the both of you. Ain't no need to be bothering me no more the rest of the night." Ed said 

 Outside


                                                  Hayden POV 


Shane and Lori have been keeping a close eye on me since I beat the snot out of Ed, giving me weird looks, 

But frankly the ass deserved it, and I don't care about the looks they give me, 

Everyone was all sitting around the campfire including me,

 "Pass the fish, please." A woman said 

 " Here you go." A man said 

 " Man o man, that's good. I miss this. " The man said again 

"I've got to ask you, man. It's been driving me crazy." Morales 

 "What?" Dale asked 

 "That watch." Morales said  

"What's wrong with my watch?" Dale asked  

"I see you every day, the same time, winding that thing like a village priest saying mass." Morales said  

"I've wondered this myself." Jacqui 

"I'm missing the point." Dale said 

  "Unless I've misread the signs, the world seems to have come to an end. At least hit a speed bump for a good long while." Jacqui said  

 "But there's you every day winding that stupid watch." Morales 

 "Time... it's important to keep track, isn't it? The days at least. Don't you think, Andrea? Back me up here. I like... I like what, um, a father said to son when he gave him a watch that had been handed down through generations. He said, "I give you the mausoleum of all hope and desire, which will fit your individual needs no better than it did mine or my father's before me; I give it to you not that you may remember time, but that you may forget it for a moment now and then and not spend all of your breath trying to conquer it." Dale said 

"You are so weird." Amy said 

 Everyone laughs. 

"It's not me. It's Faulkner. William Faulkner. Maybe my bad paraphrasing." Dale said  

Amy gets up from the campfire.

 "Where are you going?" Andrea said 

 "I have to pee. Jeez, you try to be discreet around here..." Amy said  

Everyone laughs. I just chuckle 

"So what's your story Hayden?" Dale asked 

"Don't really got one," I said 

"Come on kid everyone has a story," Shane said 

"Everyone but me," I said 

Suddenly we hear Amy scream we all stand to our feet seeing walkers everyone scatters 

I grab my bow and arrows, hitting each and everyone of them in between the eyes or in the forehead,


I bounce my foot off a tree trunk and kick the walker in the head and stabbed it in the eyes, I charged another one sliding under it's legs, 

Ah this is just what I need, I kept shooting the dead util I'm running low on arrows, so as I was running I was grabbing the arrows out of their head, 

I started running, 

"Hayden!" I hear Daryl's voice 

But I had no choice I'm far enough away then I can finally climb a tree, just as then were beneath me I shot each and everyone of them, 

I let out a shaky breath, 

What a rush, i thought
