It was an early morning on the Green family farm of Rural, Georgia. Beth got up, made her bed, and got dressed in blue jean overalls and a pair of yellow rain boots. She did her daily routine of waking up before everyone else did and started working on the farm. She would do all other needs like brushing her teeth, taking a nice warm bath, and making breakfast after her chores of keeping up with the farm were done. She would grab the eggs from the chicken coop, milk the cows for some milk, and check on her favorite horse Nelly.

Beth grew up with Nelly since she was just a tiny toddler. Her dad, Hershel would let her ride Nelly when she was only three years old. They would go on little trips with Nelly like to the local market, to pick up some fresh carrots and other needs.

In school, Beth was acing all her classes. She had a good amount of friends and the perfect boyfriend Jimmy. After musical rehearsals at her school Beth would often times go out with Jimmy to The Barn House, a place where all teenage kids would go to hang out. They would order one strawberry milkshake and place two straws in the pink delicious gooey liquid in order for a classic romantic night. She would also sing on karaoke night, singing classic songs her mother always love.

Beth was different from most teens at her school. She didn’t need any cellular device to make her happy, or any television for entertainment. All she needed for entertainment was singing, and her family. She often helped her mother cook around the house. She often came up with her own recipes as well. Like hot delicious yummy chowder that her family often enjoyed as well as their neighbors, Patricia and Otis. She lived a perfect life that is until the outbreak occurred.

Her mom and her brother were both bit by what the news called “Walkers” She remembered the day when her family was holding on by a thread of string.

''“What the hell are these?” Hershel yelled as he grabbed his shotgun from Patricia. Beth, Patricia, and Maggie look from the door. Hershel shot all The “Walkers” that had bit Beth’s mom and brother. Hershel and Otis had quickly got them inside the house. Beth, Patricia, Maggie quickly grabbed towels to stop the bleeding from their red wounds that had both been on their shoulders. Beth sobbed as she held on to Maggie. She listened to the last words of her mom and brother. ''

''“I love you all.” They both said as they held hands together on the couch they were lying on. ''

Beth has now made it almost a year into the apocalypse. She can shoot and kill without any fear of the world now infested with The Walkers.
