[color=gray]What was life without its mysteries and memories?

Maisy, accompanied by Trevor and squad Beta, had returned to the expedition's encampment, but the rancher's thoughts were mostly elsewhere. The expedition had scored in terms of gains, and there was to be a "get to know each other" party, yet the second-in-command couldn't focus. Maisy's eyes stared deep into a small fire, while her hands fiddled with the small gearshift knob. The knob was rotated over and over in the palm of her hand as Maisy lost herself in her thoughts.

After all, Maisy was still human. There was a number of factors and events that the rancher was witness too as she lived on another day. The old beaten-up truck of Maisy's childhood stood dead on the road, dry of gas like a well in the drought. It had nostalgic memories attached to it, but the vehicle had been tainted by the hell on earth. The screams of hearing people torn apart by the dead while they hightailed it... well, it was a memory that Maisy didn't want to remember.

Then, there was the incident with Trevor in the basement of a house infested by walkers. Caught up in joy, Maisy kissed the woodsman right smack on the cheek. Trevor swore to keep it a secret, but would he? What implications would it have in the future? The questions Maisy had were ambiguous as they were numerous. Her eyes looked down at the gearshift knob in her hands, and Maisy sighed.[/color] [color=moccasin][b]"I wish I had my Pa's acoustic."[/b][/color] [color=gray]The rancher said, not to anyone particular and more to herself, throwing the knob into the air before catching it and putting the object in her pouch. Music could calm the soul, and it was better than damned silence.[/color]
