   Summary

   'What if' things were different for the survivors of Rick's group? Combining aspects from both the Tv and comic series as well as my own ideas, this story will reaccout the events from The Walking Dead, giving some characters more time to develop or even meet an untimely demise.

   Nobody is safe. Nobody has ‘main character armour’. Everybody has an equal chance of dying. Each season will allow different characters to have the spotlight, rather than it being the Rick show.

   The overall plot will mostly stay the same in the beginning until the characters are established. However, long term i have ideas on making much bigger changes.

   [All rights go to the creators of The Walking Dead and AMC, except for the characters and plot I have created for the purpose of this story]
