    Summary

    “I don’t think we really get to try or fail or make choices anymore. We just do what we have to, and if we don’t, we die.”

    Dying wasn't an option for Tess, though she sometimes wished it was. When the outbreak hit, she did the only thing she could: survive, and at a terrible price. Joel was just supposed to give her better odds.

    Tess's story, the early years.
