I never imagined that the world would come to this. The once familiar faces of our friends and neighbors now roam the earth as mindless walkers, hungry for flesh. It's a nightmare that I can't wake up from, no matter how hard I try.
When it all started, my family was lucky enough to be safe on our farm. We watched in horror as the news reports showed cities falling apart, chaos spreading like wildfire. But Hershel refused to believe that these creatures were truly dead – he insisted they were just sick and in need of care until a cure could be found.
Annette and Shawn were the first victims in our community. They were bitten by those things and soon turned into one of them themselves. Hershel couldn't bear to let go of hope for them; he had Otis put them in the barn with the others infected, waiting for a miracle cure that never came.
We hunkered down on the farm - me, Beth, Hershel, Otis, Patricia,and Jimmy barricaded ourselves inside while we waited out what seemed like an endless nightmare outside those walls.The days blurred together as we tried to maintain some sense of normalcy amidst all this madness.
Hershel continued his search for more "infected" people from town – bringing back Arnold,the Fischers,Lacey,Duncan- anyone who crossed his path during his misguided mission.It broke my heart every time we added another person to that barn full of monsters.I knew they weren’t coming back,I understood what needed doing but still,it weighed heavy on my soul
My routine involved riding out into town whenever supplies ran low or someone fell ill.A dangerous task,but necessary if we wanted any chance at survival.I'd saddle up my horse,say goodbye,to whoever stayed behind,and head off into unknown dangers each time.Was i scared? Of course,i wouldn't dare deny.But fear wasn’t something i allowed myself dwell upon there was no room left after so much loss already
Every trip brought its own set challenges: dodging walkers,hunting down medicine,fending off other survivors desperate enough resort violence.Yet somehow,I always made it back home alive.My loved ones depended me their beacon light midst darkness and despair how could i possibly fail?
Despite everything,hope blooms within me.Hope not only survive but thrive despite odds stacked against us.We're fighters,resilient,stronger united than ever before.We'll make through this apocalypse stronger,because when push comes shove,Greene family gets going!
