Tyler and Jamie limp home almost at nightfall, Tyler numb from the vibration of the scooter, Jamie pushing the garden cart loaded high with guns and seeds, clean new water hoses, stacks of plastic flower pots, shovels and hand-tools, garbage bags full of the light dry soil from the dead plants

I feel the story drawing towards the conclusion and I have mixed feelings about that. I want to see a solution and a future for these people I've come to know, but I don't want the story to end.

It makes so much more sense that zombies just don't last forever. As much as I love The Walking Dead, when I see a shambling, emaciated and half rotted corpse spray bright red blood it just makes me roll my eyes. Sure, there will be some fresh ones every once in awhile, but for the most part they're just going to break down and quit moving even if they're not totally 'dead'. It's nice to see someone else who's picked up on the 'realities' of zombie physics. And isn't that an oxymoron!

Another great chapter.

I really liked the black-blood grey-guts of the earlier season twd (thinking the one that Rick and Darryl went through it's guts looking to see what it ate) better than the later ones (and it really throws me out of the story when there's an emaciated/rotted face and normal-but-dusty hands).

dude, I'm at like almost 80k on this thing (not counting the original story at all). It has to end sometime. That said, I think there's a real rich area that's been unexplored, as characters come through this kind of an experience, as the entire world comes out the other side. How do you heal when everyone has survivor's guilt, when everyone has some level of ptsd, when everyone has seen or done things they never thought they could or would? I think there will definitely be at least a series of short moments, as things come back to normal.
