《Love In Hell (D.D.)》1.11 Who's Gonna Play Bait
Advertisement
I was sitting next to Dad on the porch.
Daryl walked past us but Dad stopped him.
Dad stood up "Daryl, you okay on your own?"
Daryl nodded "I'm better on my own. I'll be back before dark"
He began to walk again.
Dad yelled "Hey!"
Daryl stopped.
Dad "We got a base. We can get this search properly organized now."
Daryl asked annoyed "you gotta point or are we just chattin'?"
Dad "my point is to let you off the hook. You don't owe us anything. "
Daryl turned around and walked away "my other plans fell through"
Dad looked at me.
I just shrugged my shoulders and walked to Dale and T-dog who were on a well.
Me "Need help?"
T-dog was sweating like an animal.
Suddenly i heard something moaning and growling. I walked to the well. There was a hole in the wood that was supposed to cover it.
i yelled "Guys!"
They didn't hear me.
T-Dog was going to drinking from the water.
Me "shit"
I took my shoe off and threw it at T-Dog. It hit him right in the stomach.
He let the cup fall and looked at me shocked "The hell, Kendall!!?"
Me "Don't drink it"
He gave a a confused look but then it hit him and he looked at the wood.
----
We all looked into the well.
Dale "looks like we got us a swimmer. "
Glenn "how long do you think it's been down there?"
Mom "long enough to grow gills. we can't leave it in there. god knows what it's doing in the water"
Shane "we gotta get it out"
T-Dog nodded "easy. Shoot a bullet in its head"
Maggie grimaced "Wow, guys, no."
Glenn asked confused "Why not? it's a good plan"

I shook my head "Stupid plan. If we shoot it in the head, and it hasn't infected the water yet, then sure as hell it will then."
Shane nodded "She's right. Can't risk it."
T-Dog "Then, we gotta get it out alive?"
I nodded "Well, and how do we plan on doing that?"
---
Shane held a stick in the well who had a piece of flesh on a string.
I looked down. The thing didn't give two shits about it.
Me "It doesn't give two shits"
T-Dog "because a steak doesn't run and scream, when you try to eat it."
Mom nodded "He's right. There's a reason that dead didn't come back to life and began to raid out cupboards. "
I smirked "So who is going to play bait?"
Everyone looked at Glenn whose eyes widened.
Glenn sat down on the well and Shane put a rope around Glenn "have i mentioned that i like your new haircut? You have a nice shaped head. "
I smirked.
Shane "Don't worry, bud. We are gonna getcha outta there in one piece. "
Glenn "living piece. The living part is important."
Everyone took a hold of the rope. We slowly let Glenn slide down the well.
Me "Don't worry Glenn, We got ya"
Maggie "Oh, you people are crazy"
Shane "Wann get it outta your well or not?"
Dale "give us an eye there, Maggie. "
Glenn was now inside the well.
Me "You alright down there, Glenn?!?"
Glenn called out "i'm alright. Living my dream"
Maggie "a little lower. A little more."
Suddenly the rope got loose and Shane flew to the ground. I heard Glenn scream. we tried to grab a hold of the rope again and we did.

Glenn yelled "Get me out of here!! Get me outta here"
T-Dog was holding the string and we were holding T-Dog. We pulled T-Dog back who pulled Glenn up.
Glenn was panicking "get me outta here !!!. Get me outta here!!"
Suddenly he was out. He kneeled down on the ground and calmed down. I kneeled down next to him and rubbed my hand on his back helping him calm down.
Shane looked around "whose next?"
Glenn stood up and gave Shane the rope "Says you"
The he walked back. Dale pulled on the rope. I looked into the well. The Walker's upper body was hanging on the rope.
Maggie "let me get a horse"
She brought a horse to us. We put the string on the sattle. Maggie slowly dragged the horse in one direction.
The walker came up slowly.
Shane "come on, guys. Pull! come on! almost there"
We all pulled it up.
Shane "come on all together!!"
I rolled my eyes and made gagging sounds.
Shane and his inner coach
Suddenly its upper body was out. But then his body ripped in two and his under body flew back down the well.
Worms and organs came out of the upper body. The walker was still moving like nothing happened.
Everyone was looking pissed off.
Suddenly T-Dog began to hammer with a pipe against the walker's head. Maggie was gagging. Glenn was looking better.
Maggie then left to throw up.
T-Dog "Good thing we didn't do nothing stupid like shooting him"
He took off.
Shane, Carol and Andrea had decided to go back to the Highway. See if anything had changed. Glenn and Maggie went riding out to get some things. I was upstairs with Carl.
He was feeling better.
Carl "Keni?"
I was standing in front of the window, looking out "mhm?"
Carl "Do you think the world can be saved? That everything could be normal again?"
I turned to him and shook my head "This world is too damaged to be saved. "
Carl nodded and then yawned. I smiled and looked out again.
I saw Glenn giving Mom something.
She hid it behind her back under her shirt.
I raised an eyebrow "What the hell ?"
Carl "you okay?"
I turned to him "Go to sleep, bro. Maybe i'll show by later"
He nodded. I walked to him, gave him a kiss on his forehead and stormed downstairs.
I walked out and Glenn walked past me but i grabbed his arm and held him back "Where do you think are you going?"
Glenn looked down.
I warned "Glenn"
Glenn shook his head "i can't"
I saw something in his pant pocket and grabbed it.
Glenn "Ke-"
I read it. There stood .
My jaw dropped "Tell me that's not what you gave her"
I looked him in the eyes "Glenn"
Glenn shook his head "i can't. I'm sorry, Ken"
He tried to hug me but i blocked him.
I shook my head "don't"
If he only knew the things i know.
It was getting dark already.
Glenn took off. I put the note in my backpocket and looked around. I saw Daryl walking out of the RV. His eyes met mine.
I shook my head and walked away.

MAZE - The Endless Quest
As all kids do, Hera wanted to be an explorer. Sadly when she turned 18, she discovered that her stats and lack of skills made her fail the requirements to become one, and she went to work on a bookstore. That should have been the end of her story. But when she wins a lottery to have her level up, she discovers a hidden skill and a rare one at that. The system gave her dream back, and this time she is not letting it go. ############################## The story is about a world where game-like systems are the norm. Everyone has a level, status, and even skills are a common thing. If your stats are good, you can also become an explorer, someone that ventures inside a place called MAZE, a dungeon of sorts filled with monsters, creatures, and things that the natural world is missing, such as magic and demi-humans. The story follows Hera, a woman who wanted to be an explorer, but her status were too low to become one. One day she wins a raffle that allows her to level up for the first time giving her the chance to achieve her childhood dream. It's more about how things work and what you can do with them than about power or revenge. The rhythm might be a bit slow for some, but that is the idea. I want to give sort of a slice of life feeling to most of it.
