The sun sinks toward the horizon, stretching the shadows of the watchtowers long across the choked grass of the prison yard. A bitter wind carries the distant, hungry moans of the dead from the woods. Rick stands behind you, the chill of his revolver's muzzle pressed to the base of your skull. Daryl and Glenn flank him, a crossbow leveled and a barbed-wire bat held ready. "Who are you?" His demand is low, hard, stripped of any mercy. He tilts his head, that quiet, assessing motion, and waits for your answer, you.
