Tooth and Nail (Draft In Progress - Book One)

I guess when apocalypses start, Jezebel thought, People forget to be humane, and just focus on being human.

I think a Walker is like a Schizophrenic, they've got another soul living in their head that's doing this to 'em. I think that's why they get distracted. They see something that strikes 'em, like a pretty bouquet, and they get flashbacks or something. They see someone they knew, or they go down a road they've walked a dozen times before, and they lose their Walker-ness for just enough of a noticeable bit. I think that's why the first Walker didn't eat Survivor One. He still knew him, in some way. He could hear his own voice echoing in his head and he knew he couldn't take his friend's life. I think that's why Connor Graves made it out alive. With a name like Graves, he's no victim. He's the undertaker, and he'll outlast us all.

But what of his sister, Jezebel? And her friends? Allen, Tamerlyn, Avery and Drew. They don't seem too fit for this. I mean, we've all heard Tamerlyn's confessional. We all know what's going on with her. We all understand her pain because we've all got a story like that. She reminds us that even though the Catastrophe hit us all individually, it hit us all at once, and no one is better off than anyone else. We're all on the same page. Day 24.
