    Summary

    Sarah Miller is, without a doubt, a daddy’s girl.

    She never stood a chance, really. It’s always been just her and her father. Her mama died when she was just a baby, so young she couldn’t remember her face if she tried. And Daddy never brought home no girls from the bars or giggly waitresses like Uncle Tommy used to before he met Aunt Maria.

    Never in her life has she had to share him.

    That is, until Daddy comes home late on Thursday evening with news for Sarah.

    Summary

    She starts making small sounds, close to cooing. They’re not nearly as loud as her crying, thank god, but it would be better if she didn’t make any noises at all, like the rest of her peers.

    “You don’t got any sense, do you?” Joel mutters, receiving a gurgling sound that’s likely not directed at him.

     

    Joel realizes, much to his horror, that he once came across Ellie almost 15 years ago.

    Summary

    An influential member of Jackson just brought in a lone survivor who speaks of their holy prophet: David, cruelly slain. The survivor seeks to resurrect David’s holy message, right here in Jackson.

    Ellie never told Joel what happened at Silver Lake. Now that they’re settled in Jackson, Joel tries to be fine with that. He’d do anything to keep her safe, but when Tommy brings him news of a survivor stirring up trouble, truths are brought to light to prevent further bloodshed.

    Tommy has no clue what’s going on and really wishes his brother would stop threatening to murder people.

    Summary

    Lisa comes by to collect his empty glasses, not that Joel really notices. He’s too busy unlocking his phone and fumbling through opening the browser app. His fingers feel thick, heavy, and it takes him more tries than it should to get a search window open and type his query in. But he manages, eyes crossing slightly as he looks through the options that have come up from his search for bus tickets.

    Summary

    Joel’s seat moves a bit, indicating that someone has sat down next to him. There’s no overtly offensive smells coming from them, so that’s a small blessing, but he doesn’t open his eyes. Please let them not be chatty, please let them just sit there for the next ten hours and leave him the fuck alone.

    The bus starts rolling from the station, the noise level cresting briefly and then dropping back down again, and Joel finally opens his eyes, chancing a glance over at the person sitting next to him.

    Scratch that – the kid sitting next to him.
