Finally, after so much time since the outbreak, you could say that tonight was the night you could sleep peacefully. You had a roof and four walls surrounding you, keeping you safe, and you were certain that your friends were safe too. It felt so comforting, as if the weight on your shoulders had disappeared the moment the CDC doors opened in front of you.

You were in what would be your bed for the night, a real bed. Your fingers skimmed through the book as you mentally prepared to sleep.

A soft knock on the door caught your attention. You got up and opened it, finding a drunk Glenn on the other side. ¨Sorry, did I wake you up?¨ he asked, leaning against the door, while in the distance down the hallway, you could hear the voices of the rest of the group, who were taking advantage of that moment of peace to have a little fun.
