Shane lifts Jim carefully off the ground and takes him down to the camp and ties him to a tree. "Is that necessary?" Nessa asks.

"It's so he can't hurt himself, Nessa" I state patting her shoulder.

Lori comes up to me looking embarrassed "You okay?" I ask her.

"Human biology was never my strong point" she says.

I nod wandering what her point is "Okay, and?"

"Would you be able to teach the kids the basics? The world may have ended but my boy isn't growing up stupid" She says.

I laugh "Of course, I might as well put my skills to use"

For the next while I teach both Carl and Sophia basic things about the human body like the skeletal system, muscles and organs, all middle school level stuff with Lori and Carol both watching. Half way through, Shane comes over to Jim with some water. I concentrate on the kids but watch out the corner of my eye as Shane gives Jim a drink and pours some on his head.

"I'm sorry if I scared your boy and your little girl" Jim calls over to Lori and Carol.

"You had sun stroke. Nobody's blaming you" Lori states.

"You're not scared now, are you?" Jim asks the kids

"No sir" Sophia answers

Jim nods in relief. "Your mama's right. Sun just cooked my head is all."

"Jim, do you know why you were digging? Can you say?" Dale asks.

"I had a reason. Don't remember. Something I dreamt last night. Your dad was in it. You were too. You were worried about him. Can't remember the rest. You worried about your dad?" He asks Carl.

"They're not back yet." Carl says

Lori rubs Carl's back with a fake smile "We don't need to talk about that."

"Your dad's a police officer, son. He helps people. Probably just came across some folks needing help, that's all. That man, he is tough as nails. I don't know him well but… I could see it in him. Am I right?" Jim states.

"Oh yeah" Shane replies

"There ain't nothing gonna stop him from getting back here to you and your mom, I promise you that." Jim states.

"All right. Who wants to help me clean some fish, huh?" Shane asks the kids.

"Sweet, come on Sophia" Carl says jumping up and running, Sophia close behind.

I pat Lori's shoulder and follow as well.

I watch for a while as Morales builds a wall of boulders around the camp fire. When he's finished he steps back and says "I, uh, built up the rocks all around. See? So the flames can be a little higher and have 'em be hidden."

I nod my head impressed "Nice one! Good thinking Morales!"

"Let's get these fish cookin'!" Shane says coming through the bushes with a free Jim.

I grin "Yes, lets!"

It takes a while but everyone gets their fish by the time it gets dark. We all sit back and enjoy it, fresh fish! Nothing can beat it. Nessa sits between my legs and I hear noises of appreciation coming from her and everyone else for that matter.

Morales speaks up, talking to Dale "I've got to ask you, man. It's been driving me crazy"

Dale looks at him "What?"

"That watch" Morales states.

"What about my watch?" Dale asks

"I see you every day, the same time, winding that thing like a village priest saying mass" Morales says with a smile. I giggle, I have noticed that.

"I have wondered this myself" Jacqui says.

"I'm missing the point" Dale states

"Unless I've misread the signs, the world seems to have come to an end. At least hit a speed bump for a good long while" Jacqui says.

"But there's you every day winding that stupid watch." Morales finishes.

"Time… it's important to keep track, isn't it? The days at least. Don't you think, Andrea? Back me up here." Dale says and Andrea just laughs nervously then takes a drink of her beer.

When Andrea doesn't answer he continues "I like… I like what, um, a father said to son when he gave him a watch that had been handed down through generations. He said, "I give you the mausoleum of all hope and desire, which will fit your individual needs no better than it did mine or my father's before me; I give it to you not that you may remember time, but that you may forget it for a moment now and then and not spend all of your breath trying to conquer it.""

There is a moment of silence where we all take in Dale's words then Amy says "you are so weird."

I cough into my beer as I laugh. "It's not me. It's Faulkner. William Faulkner. Maybe my bad paraphrasing." Dale says.

Amy then gets up and Andrea grabs her wrist "Where are you going?"

"I have to pee. Jeez, you try to be discreet around here…" Amy states then walks off to the RV. We all laugh again.

A few moments later Amy steps out of the RV and calls over "We're out of toilet paper!"

Suddenly I hear her scream. My head shoots up and I see a walker taking a chunk out of her arm. My stomach clenches and my heart stops and time seems to slow down, stop and then fast forward. Suddenly, more walkers appear and everybody scrambles up screaming. I grab my gun out of its holster and start shooting walkers along with Shane but they just keep coming! I hear members of our camp scream as they are attacked.

I push Nessa towards Shane shouting "Stay close to him and go! I'll catch up"

She runs for him and walks behind Carol using her own gun, uselessly might I had, where she got that from is beyond me, but she is keeping herself and the others safe. I move after them slowly, taking down walkers as I go.

"Gwen! Come on!" Shane screams at me.

"I'm coming!" I shout back

"Gwen! Get to the RV!" He shouts again.

"I'm working on it!" I shout back.

I hear a shots coming from the other end of camp and spin around and search for the source, which was a stupid thing to do. A walker tackles me to the ground. My life almost flashes before my eyes. I scream as I hit the floor and my gun flies out of my hand. Survival instincts kick in instantly and I fight against the walker desperately

"Help!" I scream at the top of my voice.

"Gwen!" Shane's voice rings through the snarls of the walker. Its jaws snapping towards my face.

I panic as my arms begin to shake from its weight. I scream again, not knowing what else to do when a shot is fired and the walker falls sideways off of me. I stagger away from it, tears in my eyes. A hand grabs my arm and wrenches me from the floor and I panic again. Until I see a pair of bright blue eyes staring at me in concern. Suddenly the shooting stops and crying fills the silence. I collapse into Daryl's chest, my body heaving with sobs and he wraps an arm around my waist and holds me to him. I pull back and turn around panicked "Nessa!" I shout but she's already running towards me looking worried.

I grab her as we fall to the floor and I cry into her shoulder. "Thank God, you're okay!" I sob clutching at her.

I look over Nessa's shoulder and automatically feel guilty. I pull her up with me as we move closer "Oh god, Amy" I mutter standing next to Lori with Nessa attached to my waist and my arms around her shoulders.

Andrea calls Amy's name over and over. "I remember my dream now, why I dug the holes" Jim states and my eyes drift over the massacre on the camp.
