Caution: Zombie Crossing
Lori forgets this isn't hopping in a car to run a quick errand. Forgets how the world's changed.
Drifts back into bad habits behind the wheel, mind wandering to mean little fantasies of jabbing Rick with a well-placed (s)word.
A cop's wife knows better than to read a map while driving. But Lori's always been good at forgetting inconveniences: other drivers, sudden deer on lonely highways. Or the walking dead.
Her gaze snaps back to the road as the corpse staggers into her path.
She panics, wrenches the wheel.
Screams, as the car tilts-a-whirls onto the shoulder.
Falls...
Into...
...Darkness.
