"Be nice," Rick responded. "Besides you look more like the stray than her," Rick made a joke which caused Glenn to choke on the water he was drinking and for me to smile in satisfaction.

"I need you to do it now," he grabbed my hand and squeezed it, "I don't want to turn into one of them," he said which caused tears to uncontrollably stream down my face. But I nodded as I knew he was in a lot of pain and I couldn't let him turn into the very thing that killed him. "Tell mom and dad I love them," he said as I pulled my gun out of its holder and cried harder. My hands shook as I held it, unable to keep it steady Ben grabbed my hand that was wrapped around the gun and positioned it at his forehead. "You need to win, beat this," was the last thing he said before he nodded his head and pushed my finger down on the trigger.

"Five more minutes," Mark spoke up, breaking the peaceful silence between us. A surge of excitement rushed through me, I couldn't wait to be home. At this time Carol or T-Dog would be on the barbeque cooking up some meat for lunch, Rick and Carl would be down in the field gathering some vegetables and fruit to hand out while the meal was finishing up, and people would be gathering around and having a laugh. Then after lunch, I would be able to have a proper sleep in my little cell room.

ch 56 Aftermath

Things had been changing so fast lately that I hadn't ever really had time to properly mourn the death of more than half of my family. I slid down the shower wall, clutching my knees close to me, gasping for air as I choked on my tears. I covered my mouth, silencing myself in case Glenn was still in the room. It wasn't so much that I was sad or crushed at the thought of it, but instead, angry. These were tears of frustration with the world, my blood boiled when thinking about my brother. How unfair it was, that if he just made it one more hour, he could have been alive and with me now. Then I thought about my parents, their selfishness, to end it all without a second thought about their children. I knew it was my mother's idea, she was always the weaker one and she would have talked my dad into it with no problem. He was brave, a fighter, a general, yet he was a sucker for my mother, he wouldn't be able to live without her… so they did it together.

Fear is the body's way of protecting itself from doing something that may be dangerous. Fear is a feeling that exists in all of us. Although, courage is a desire that must be attained, a characteristic that does not always come naturally. The courageous act takes self-sacrifice for the good of others or oneself, it saves lives, it gives hope. Nevertheless, you can't have one without the other. It takes one to fear something to be courageous and you can't have courage if there is nothing to fear.
