"The pain doesn't go away. You just make room for it."

We've been in this stupid train car for a few days, and it's been hell. These people here are disgusting, and I want to kill them. To make this situation even better, they're cannibals.

I've met the new people in the train car because there's nothing better to do. Tara, she seems nice. She helped Glenn get out of prison. There was Abraham, who was in the army, his girlfriend Rosita, and a man named Eugene. Abraham and Rosita are trying to get Eugene to Washington. He's a scientist and says he can stop this. All of it. He won't tell us any of it, though; it's 'classified.'

We've been sleeping on the cold metal floor, eating little to no food, and we've been using anything possible to make weapons.

"All right, got four of them pricks coming our way," Daryl announced.

"Y'all know what to do. Go for their eyes first. Then their throats," Rick instructed.

I heard the footsteps nearing our car, and one of the men spoke up.

"Put your backs to the walls on either side of the car now," he yelled, but we stayed where we were.

We readied our 'weapons' and heard the top of the train cart open, only to see someone dropping what looked like a bomb into the car.

"Move!" Abraham yelled.

We all ducked and took cover, and someone pulled me out of the way and down to the ground, using their body to shield me. The main door of the cart opened, and Rick, Bob, Daryl, and Glenn were taken out.

"No," I whispered to myself, banging on the now-closed door.

A little while later, after working on our weapons, a massive explosion was heard throughout Terminus. It made the ground shake and put all of us on edge.

"What the hell was that?" I confusedly asked.

Abraham slammed his fists on the door in anger.

"Someone hit them," Michonne answered, referring to Terminus.

"Maybe our people got free," Sasha suggested hopefully.

"Excuse me," Eugene said as he pushed me and some others out of the way to get to the door.

He crouched down and started doing something with the shell of the gas bomb.

"What the hell are you doing?" Rosita spat.

"I might be able to use this shell to compromise the door. From the sound of things, there may not be anybody left to open it," he explained.
