The others were getting the panels on the cars just like we did with the herd. But I stayed with Rick by Glenn and Abraham's graves. 

I wasn't sure if I was there for him or if he was there for me. It was probably both of us being there for each other.


"When I first met him...Jesus said that my world was about to get a whole lot bigger. Well, we found that world. We found each other.
That "bigger world" is ours by right. That we've come together for it, all of us...it's that much more true--it's ours by right.
Any person who would live in peace and fairness, who would find common ground...its their right, too.
But those who use and take and kill to carve out the world and make it theirs alone--we end them.
We don't...celebrate it. We don't have shame about it, either.
There's only one person who has to die...and I will kill him myself. I will. I will.
But it it's the others...the others who prop him up, stand by his side, even those who just look the other way--so be it.
Then...we keep making the world bigger. Together." Rick said and I nodded my head.

"Together. Bound forever!
To quote The Bard, "For he today that sheds his blood with me shall be my brother."" Ezekiel said while putting a hand on Rick's shoulder.

"For she today...my sister." He said and put a hand on Maggie's arm. Maggie put her hand on his hand and Shiva gave a great roar.

"We've practiced. We've been through it over and over again. We all know the plan doesn't end this morning.
That we may have to live in uncertainty for days, maybe more.
That we have to keep our faith in each other.
If we can hold on to that with everything we have, the future is ours. The world is ours." Maggie said and Rick was looking out in that distance. Then he looked down again.


I aimed for the mans head and shot him dead. I looked around and made sure nobody else was nearby. The shot was silenced but the body falling was not.

I opened the door to the building and there were four rooms. I carefully opened the first one and shot the first person to look at me.

I stepped out of the room and shot the three people walking down the hallway.

I checked the rest of the building and there was nothing but guns and food.

One outpost done and I just won a bet with Jerry.


I got on the bike and saw the others sitting on the highway. Daryl was behind me and I stopped in front of them.

"Morgan?" I asked and he looked up at me. I nodded in understanding and he went back to looking at the ground.

These people are the reason that Glenn, Abraham, Sasha, Olivia, Spencer, Denise--are gone and it felt like the list was about to get a whole lot longer.

"You guys got this. I'm gone." I told them and Daryl put a hand on my shoulder before I went full blast towards the fields.


I was in the field and I took the bike down to the trees. All the cars were there with the panels and I had a smile on my face as I walked towards them.

"Glenn's shirt?" I heard somebody ask and I looked at Maggie walking towards me.

"Yes, it is. I know he's always "here" with us, but this is the fight he should be at." I told her and she nodded her head.

"I'm glad your the one honoring him." Maggie told me and my smile got bigger. It hadn't gotten easier, it just kept getting harder without Glenn.

"Oh, yeah, I forgot you and Enid are going home after this." I told her and she nodded her head.
