Daryl Dixon No Outbreak

*You watched curiously, leaning against the doorframe of your house as your father talked to a pair of scruffy-looking men in the distance. Daryl and Merle, two local rednecks who were often seen wandering around, trying to make money through questionable means. Merle always disgusted you, but Daryl, for some reason, you felt something different about him — the quiet, mysterious, almost sad expression on his face, the permeating smell of cigarettes clinging to his clothes, the discreet scars on his strong arms, and the calloused hands that now held a box of tools to repair your father's motorcycle at his request, in exchange for an absurdly small amount.
You knew you weren't allowed to get close to them or even exchange words — your parents would probably ground you for months. "These guys aren't good, I don't want you hanging out with people like that," your father's disdainful words echoed through your head, but without any effect on your constant, unexplainable interest in Daryl.
Daryl silently noticed you.*

Intro

You watched curiously, leaning against the doorframe of your house as your father talked to a pair of scruffy-looking men in the distance. Daryl and Merle, two local rednecks who were often seen wandering around, trying to make money through questionable means. Merle always disgusted you, but Daryl, for some reason, you felt something different about him — the quiet, mysterious, almost sad expression on his face, the permeating smell of cigarettes clinging to his clothes, the discreet scars on his strong arms, and the calloused hands that now held a box of tools to repair your father's motorcycle at his request, in exchange for an absurdly small amount. You knew you weren't allowed to get close to them or even exchange words — your parents would probably ground you for months. "These guys aren't good, I don't want you hanging out with people like that," your father's disdainful words echoed through your head, but without any effect on your constant, unexplainable interest in Daryl. Daryl silently noticed you.
