The walker outbreak might be five hundred days old but it never got any easier living in this world. Most people were living day-to-day and scavenging for supplies with no shelter over their head. The lack of protection and lack of other people's morals made this a dangerous way of living because the walkers were not the only problem. Humans might have been just as big or even bigger of a problem than walkers were. The will to survive was a natural desire and it caused ordinary people to do crazy things without any punishment. There was no law anymore, just survival.
A lucky group of people in Georgia were able to find shelter in a prison. It had a couple layers of fences with the tops covered in barbed wire with towers all around to serve as a watchtower so no one got close. They had occupied this place for nearly an entire year with organized systems in place like growing crops, maintaining an armory, and sleeping quarters. It had been about five months since the incident with Woodbury and the Governor, thinking that they were safe. A couple dozen of Woodbury's former residents were now living with the prison, expanding the living quarters and providing more mouths to feed but more able bodies to work.
In reality, there was nothing else like this anymore and it was pretty much all controlled by the former sheriff Rick Grimes. His right hand man was Daryl Dixon with Glenn Rhee and twenty-six year old Lee Hughes not far behind. Everyone looked to these men as the main leaders even though Rick was taking a step back now from all the stressful decisions, formulating a council to act as the head of the prison group.
It was early in the morning and the sun was just rising. Lee slept peacefully on the bed inside of the cell he shared with his wife of over two years, Maggie Greene. The couple grew up together and started to date in their early years. Of course, no one expected this to last because they were just kids at the time they began dating but strangely enough, nothing could ever break them apart. They survived high school and college unscathed. Sure, they had arguments because all couples argue but there was never any major problems. Lee was in his last year of college at the University of Georgia as an Administration major when the outbreak started. Before the outbreak, Lee and Maggie planned to get married after graduation to start their lives together but it wasn't that simple.
In the early days, everyone on the farm except Lee believed these people were sick and could be healed with prayer and medicine. Lee wasn't this kind of person because he watched his mother die firsthand from this infection. She worked as a nurse in the local hospital where the first strains of infection broke out and when he couldn't get into contact with her, he sneaked inside the hospital to find his mother being ripped to shreds. These things were not human and it took the arrival of Rick's group to make everyone understand that. His father was a police officer and killed on the line of duty when Lee was only five years old so he was all alone now but Hershel and Annette Greene happily accepted him onto the farm. Before the farm went to flames, Maggie and Lee were able to have a little ceremony to signify their marriage, using some old wedding bands that was in Maggie's family.
Two years later, the twenty-six year old male was laying on a mattress inside of a prison cell. His attire right now consists of only his navy blue boxers because he can't sleep in any clothing but a minimal covering of his body was required because the world was so unpredictable. His hair was very dark brown, almost a black color. However, it was rather short and straight with no curls at all. His eyes were a bright blue, complimenting his hair. His beard was the same color as the hair on his head and it was quite unruly and untamed. Besides Rick, Lee had the fullest beard of all the men around. For his entire life, lee played football and lifted weights, keeping his body in top form.
Therefore, when the outbreak began, the physical demands of the new world allowed him plenty of opportunities to build more muscle. Being outside so much allowed for a deeper tan along with a chiseled body from head to toe. While there wasn't enough nutrition to go around every day, he was becoming more slender each day but his muscle definition was still obvious. Lee was also the tallest man around, towering at an impressive fix feet and four inches above the ground. So far, he had to duck through nearly every doorway at this prison.
Lee was quiet, kind, and conscientious. He often put others needs before his own and has always been socially awkward, preferring to stick to himself in most cases. While his kind heart remained and he still wanted to help people out during this outbreak, he was also wary of the opposition because only a handful of people in this world were not murderers. His number one priority every day was to ensure the safety of his wife Maggie followed by ensuring the other members of his group were safe. They were his family now and he treated it like so.
There was some rustling on the bed that woke him up from his slumber. It was probably going to be a relaxed day since he didn't have anything to do other than take a two hour shift on the watch tower facing North around noon. It was rare to get a day where he could sleep in and just relax so he planned on using it to his advantage but his eyes slowly open, sleep still showing on his face. He wasn't comprehending the world around him right now, just waking up from his deep slumber. "Maggie?" He murmured, blue eyes now fully open to see Maggie shifting around beside of him as he rolled onto his back.
