Killer and a Sweet Thing (a Daryl Dixon story)

"She is a soft, deadly creature. Kind and timid and terrifying. She's completely out of control and has no idea what she's capable of. I'm enchanted by her pretend-innocence; jealous, even, of the power she wields so unwittingly. I want so much to be a part of her world." - Tahereh Mafi, Destroy Me

The apocalypse destroyed an entire world, and all the tiny world's within it. Each individual person's life changed entirely. Lexa's new world is a lonely one, and days pass by slowly when you're on the road, and you don't remember the last time you slept, or talked to another person, or spoke your own name. Lexa's only refuge was found among a small group of survivors, and a man who stood above all the rest.
