You don't control me, Dixon

➊ 15: The rambles of a dead man...

♤

I stab mindlessly at a walker's head, don't want any dead ones coming back. The only one that hasn't been stabbed was Andreas sister, Amy, I feel bad for her.

If I had a sister, Id want to put her down myself and before she turns. But she isn't my sister so I'm not gonna do anything. I see Lori walk over to them and sit with them, talking to Andrea, I'm guessing to console her.

I shake my head at the mother, she should be keeping an eye on her son, not on someone that isn't related to her.

Or at least help us with stabbing and burning the bodies but the queen thinks that leaving her son unattended is more important.

I look around as I stab another for the kids, Carl and Sofia were bending over something.

I wave Glenn and T over lazily to take the body and walk over to the kids and look at them. It is a twitching walker head with its jaw missing but the eye is moving.

I clear my throat and the two whip around with sheepish smiles. I smile down at them with my hands on my hips but it fades as I see my knife in Carls' hand.

I frown and hold my hand out for the blade, Carl places it in my hand and I put it back in its place.

"Kids, this isn't a toy, don't play with it. Stay in the sight of the others please, we don't want to lose anyone else. Come on" I sternly lecture as I walk behind them to the main camp.

I part with the kids and look around. I see Daryl and T carry a fresh body to a pile to be burned. I walk up to help but instead gets caught in the wildfire.

Glenn storm over and exclaims "What are you guys doing? This is for geeks. Our people go over there." I walk slower as to not be dragged into the conversation. I'm not feeling up to this. I push dirt around with my foot and listen in.

"What's the difference? They're all infected." Daryl rolls his eyes as I look and I see his eyes flick to me and move back to Glenn's pissed off face.

Glenn throws his arms up to make us understand further his point. "Our people go in that row over there. We don't burn them! We bury them. Understand? Our people go in that row over there."

If he wants us to understand then he should point out the pros and cons of burning vs burying. I honestly think it should be burning.

Glenn whips around to me, I look up with raised eyebrows as he exclaims to me "Can you believe them?".

I sigh and look down. I do agree with them, but will I look heartless if I say I do?

"I can't believe you... how- I mean- why?" Glenn asks as I look down and gather my thoughts. If they don't like how I think them fuck them. I look up and explain my reasoning.

"Ok, just let me explain." I look around and see Rick and Shane behind me, I move so I can look them all in the eye.

"Ok, I've learned to look at this in a logical stance while you are looking at it at it morally. Let's talk pros and cons. Pros of burying: morally right, makes it feel like the olden times, less smell. Cons: more time, uses more energy.

Which is bad because the people who are working are the fighters, we need the energy to protect the needy.

Meanwhile pros for burning: making sure they are fucking dead, faster, masks the area with the smell. Cons: makes us feel like heathens, the fucking smell." I sigh and look around to see their baffled faces.

I roll my eyes and throw my hands in the air exclaiming "Well, someone has to think of this. And soon, everyone else will have to too. Everything you do will cause something else and in this world, it might just cost your life. Think people!"
