Episode 1 "Alone"

A big fire rages in LA as a riot goes down, a young boy runs through the crowd, walkers are taking chunks out of police, and rioters are causing anarchy, the boy is on the search for his family, he cannot seem to find them, his heart is beating loudly as he can't seem to hear his own cries for help, a man in a hood lunges at him, the man appears to be really sick, the boy screams and runs, he goes around people, he passes Salazar's barber shop, he passes by a white truck sitting around, he keeps running like he never has before. After a little while of running the boy comes across a gas station as it explodes, it sends him flying back and he passes out as he smacks into the concrete.

3 years later:

A horse trots slowly down an open road as a mysterious man wearing a hood and a mask sits there tiredly. He is searching for a place to finally rest, he had been on the road for a whole night, on the run from something big. He pets the horse a little bit and reaches into his bag to grab a few chopped up carrots out, he proceeds to feed the horse a little bit. He looks around and sees an old trade shop along the road, he pulls into it and gets off the horse. He tells the horse to stay as he grabs his machete out of it's spot on the horse, he walks around the corner slowly and he looks through the window on the garage, he sees a few corpses and 2 walkers.

He goes back to the front of the garage and looks for a way in, the front door was blocked off, he leads the horse to a small post and ties it to the post and gives it some water. The man sees an old, rusty ladder on the side and pulls a dumpster up to it, he climbs up to the roof of the building, and sees a big hole. He walks to it and looks down and sees a big metal shelf. He slowly climbs down and lands on the shelf, he then climbs off of the shelf while looking around for any danger. He walks over to the cash register and sees something on the ground, he leaves it and goes to the garage door. He takes a deep breath before opening the door, he finally does.

He enters it and shines his flashlight, he sees a walker come at him and he stabs it in the chest, he takes his knife to go for the head but the other walker grabs him. He struggles with two walkers, both on opposite ends of him, he then proceeds to knife one in the head, and as he falls, he pulls the machete out of the dead walker, mid air and the other walkers head lands on the blade. He sits for a bit to catch his breath, he then gathers his weapons and puts them away. He then goes to open the garage door, he gets the horse and then leads it into the garage. He pets it and closes the door slowly, he gives the horse some carrots and water and is startled when he hears a rattling sound in the other room.

He goes into the other room to investigate and sees nothing, he walks by the cash register and a walker grabs his foot, he struggles until a mysterious woman kills the walker and turns the series of connected lanterns on that act as lights. He holds his hands up, "Please don't shoot, I'm not here to hurt you, just looking for a place to stay... My name is... Well I prefer not to use it but you can call me Dex, it's a codename my friends used to give me for some reason..." The woman looks at him and notices how harmless he seems, she puts her gun down slowly, he puts his hands down, "The name's Sarah... Look I don't know who you are but you'll have to find another place to bunk tonight, I'm on a mission." Dex notices the saddened but worried look on her face, as if she was looking for someone. "What exactly are you looking for? I.. I can tell you're on the search for someone close, I know the look." She fights the growing tears and can't fight it back, she looks down at the cash register and puts her hands on the counter, she then looks at Dex and says, "It all started and ended fast, we were together... My brother and I and I lost him in the herd... Our home, it was a big community... It was attacked by some very bad people and... They're all gone and he was the only family left... I gotta find him before..." Dex sympathises with Sarah and replies after a moment of silence, "Look, I understand the pain and struggle... I lost my family when all this shit went down, I had to live with that after about 4 years of searching, it only gets worse at that stage... Your brother may be out there somewhere... but you gotta face the other possibilities."
