MORNING COMES RATHER quick when you sleep little. Not that she was sleeping any good, anyways, but now that Rick rose from the dead, she couldn't stop thinking. Her mind worked and ran through all the possible scenarios in which he never woke up or died killed by a geek or in which he never found them.

She wondered how the hell did he do to end up in this side of the city? how odd it was that after all that happened, he found them. He found his family in a little camp in the outskirts of town. How lucky was he? Many people in camp barely had any family left. Jim, for example, his whole family had been killed. So, how much luck can a person get?

Melissa couldn't help but feel like something awful would come soon. She wanted to be happy but all the consequences of their actions were coming back around. How would find Rick about Shane and Lori? How would he feel about his little sister abandoning him in a hospital room?

She just kept tossing and turning and getting angry at how well and peaceful Glenn was sleeping at the other end of the tent. So, when the first ray of sun rose in the sky she got up and left the sleeping bag to go and make some breakfast with the leftovers of yesterday to then go down the quarry and wash up some clothes to accelerate the process and now, she didn't know what else to do.
