Person: What's the point of creating your own characters? They don't exist!
Me: What do you mean they don't exist? They exist. They're always with me! They're standing right here beside me!

Day 2, Part 2
Shanna continued browsing the cans, picking up what looked good and placing it in her bag. Jessica had walked to the front of the store, shifting her bag from shoulder to shoulder. She sighed, annoyed at Shanna’s slowness and the heaviness of the bag. After waiting for several minutes she looked down the aisle, Shanna was moving at a turtles pace looking at the cans, and everyone else still seemed...
Day 2, Part 1
As the sun rose, it shone into Shanna’s room, causing her to squeeze her eyes tightly shut. She brought her hand up to cover her face, not wanting to get up yet. After a few minutes of laying there in silence, she finally started to wake up and realized she wasn’t the only one in her bed. She opened one eye and peeked over, seeing her sister lying next to her, still sound asleep....
Day 1 Part 3 Dreaming
As she slipped deeper into sleep she began to dream. She was with her mother, sister and best friend Clarissa. They had gone out to lunch for a girl’s day, and then they surprised Shanna by taking her out to look at wedding dresses.

She peeked into the kitchen; her parents looked to be deep in conversation. Her Dad was probably telling her all...
Shanna’s favorite band is Nirvana…in case no one picked that up. She’d listen to them all day if she could.
Late night thoughts...
She laid there in the tent, listening to Daryl’s breathing. There were no other sounds, no crickets chirping, no animals scurrying through the leaves. Most importantly no walkers. She was sure if she lay there long enough, she’d hear something. But the sounds of nature weren’t really her thing. Daryl was more than happy to sit in the silence, listening to things she could never hear. The quiet...
Day 1 Part 1
Shanna lay awake in her bed, staring at the ceiling. As far as she could tell no one else was up yet. She sat up and looked around her room. It still looked the same as it had in high school. She had always said that she would never be one of those people who moved back home after initially leaving their parents homes, but at the age of 24 she and her twin sister Jessica had been...
