   Summary

   Maybe this is a dream, maybe this is a fucking nightmare and he'll see Paul's dead body again, lifeless in the middle of a graveyard – he's seen everyone in his nightmares, Merle, Hershel, Beth, Denise, Glenn, Abraham, Sasha, Rick, too many faces, too much blood, and he tries to scrape the images from his eyes but, in his dreams, they run wild – but this is here and now.
