"There was a time when I would think when I killed a walker. I would wonder if they had a wife and kids, a job, how they died. I would give even a little prayer, but now I just shoot them and walk away, not giving them a second thought. Sometimes, right after I kill one of those things and once again don't care if they suffered once, that they deserve atleast a thought, I wonder; which of us is more of a monster?"

Face it, we all have our misgivings. Our dark pasts. Our fears, and our weaknesses.
Now, imagine all of those fears and mistakes combined, and became reality.
That's life now. A constant caldron of fear and pain. There is no safety, no protection. There is no escape. Well, not one I plan to do, for now.
Fear is weakness, and one must fight for their lives, and their lives only, if they want to stay alive. You can't make a single mistake or misstep if you want to live. Look out for number one if you want to survive. I didn't. I looked for my whole family, and now, they're gone. I made my mistake. I tried to protect others, only to lose them in the chaos of this new world. I promised myself I wouldn't make that mistake again.
Yet here I am.
I'm watching out for someone else. Here I am, falling for someone in a world that has no such emotion. Even so, I have made my choice. I will protect her. I will save a beautiful thing among horror and pain, sickness and disease.
I will save Angel Girl.

One long journey and one million possible problems.
But after everything he has gone through, will he find what he was looking for?
