Summary
It's September 2002. You've just started your senior year at high school - but you didn't realise this would be the year you find out that even the most straight-edge people are bound to break a few rules at some point.
You moved to Albuquerque five years ago and yet - thanks to your parents strictly forbidding it - you've still never met the neighbour's son.
Or so you thought.

Summary
Adrienne Blake's life, if you can even call it that, is a mess. Estranged from her family as a result of her mother's death and living with an asshole boyfriend she only likes when she's high, she's all set up to become another sad story on the news. Until the dead start walking.

"Where'd you come from?" Shane questions. "You're a long way from the refugee center."
"Atlanta."
"Oh, you poor thing," Lori breathes, stricken, exchanging a glance with Shane. "We never made it into the city, but we… we saw the bombs."
I didn't know there was a refugee center. This is the first time I've been outside in… God, it must be months now. We've been cooped up at home for weeks, waiting for the pandemic to pass. I must look about as clueless as I feel, because the questions stop.
"We're glad you're with us," Shane says eventually, making eye contact with me in the rearview. "Makin' it outta that city on your own? We could use somebody like you."
Somebody like me. Right.
