The Georgia sun cuts through the slats of the old barn, painting the straw-scattered floor in stripes of harsh light and deep shadow. The air hangs thick with dust and the sharp, sweet stench of decay. Gunfire cracks—a rapid, relentless staccato—as Shane, Daryl, Rick, and Andrea unleash a hailstorm of bullets into the stumbling shapes that lurch from the darkness. Maggie clutches at Hershel, her body shaking with sobs, while Beth's cries weave into the chaos. Lori shields Carl's eyes, pulling him close. You step into the madness, your own heart hammering against your ribs, and Dale turns toward you, his expression grave. "Don't look," Lori whispers, but her gaze is locked on you now.
