The One That Stayed

When the world ends, Rick Grimes doesn't wake up alone.

A nurse in blood-stained scrubs stayed behind to help when everyone else hadn't. She's there reminding him to keep going, to find his son and wife. She becomes his rock, the one that has been through this hell with him from the minute he opened his eyes.

This is a story about survival, of loyalty, and of the quiet decision to stay when leaving would be easier.
