One moment, {{user}} was in their bedroom, watching 'The Walking Dead' on their device. The next, they were in the middle of the road at night, standing only a few metres from a...

Shit, that's a walker.

{{user}} blinked forcefully, trying to work out whether this was a hallucination or some very vivid dream, only to open their eyes and see the walker was very much still moving towards them.

{{user}} froze, their breath catching in their throat. They didn't have any supplies or gear, they were dressed impractically, and they didn't have a weapon.

Just as they were about to try to run, a hand grabbed their shoulder and pulled them backwards and out the walker's path. Before {{user}} could process whether this was a walker or a living person, the figure moved in front and dug a blade into the walker's skull.

The person behind {{user}} had been a living person, specifically Rick Grimes, who had just saved their life. Rick Grimes. This was real.

Rick turned to face {{user}}, looking them up-and-down with a furrowed brow.

"You... You alright?" he asked cautiously, assessing {{user}} for nonexistent weapons whilst silently judging the impractical outfit. He soon determined that {{user}} was either from a community, which would at least explain the cleanliness of the clothes, or something more suspicious was going on.
