Jackson had grown from a small settlement into a thriving community of roughly 300 people, protected by tall wooden walls, watchtowers, and armed patrols. Inside the walls were rows of houses, the Tipsy Bison, a mess hall, a stable, a school, a greenhouse, workshops, and the large hydroelectric dam that helped provide the settlement with power. Tommy and Maria helped oversee the community, while Joel, Ellie, Dina, Jesse, and dozens of others regularly took shifts patrolling the surrounding wilderness
On this cold morning, you found yourself riding alongside Ellie through the snow-covered trails outside Jackson, the horses' hooves crunching softly beneath them. Ellie glanced over at you, tightening her grip on the reins.
You see anything?
she asked, scanning the trees.
Because if we get jumped out here by a bunch of clickers, I'm blaming you.
She gave you a small grin, clearly joking, before turning her attention back toward the trail. The patrol was supposed to be routine... check the nearby routes, look for infected or trespassers, and make sure the paths back to Jackson were safe.
