    Summary

    Surprisingly, Ellie’s job at a fast-food restaurant wasn’t the shittiest part about her nineteen-year-old life.

    Granted, it was still pretty shitty. But compared to her dodgy apartment, which for whatever reason costed an arm and a leg in rent a month, and that both her parents were dead and she’d been moving in and out of foster care until she’d finally turned eighteen, her job at KFC was a minor dissatisfaction.

    None of her foster families had ever connected with her emotionally, or even really tried to. Ellie could admit that she caused trouble occasionally, and wasn’t the easiest child to raise, but a bit of familial love couldn’t have been too much of an ask for any child, right?

     

    AKA: Ellie hates everyone at her job except for a certain regular, who has a liking for flannel shirts and has a strange sadness about him, who comes in and orders the same thing every day.

    Summary

    What Ellie finds upon turning her head is not what she expected. Lingering next to Joel, atop the armrest of the couch, is a girl. Her hair is frizzy and controlled, kinky and coiled and no less beautiful than the rest of her. Her skin bears no filth, not like the dirt that’s accumulated all over Ellie’s. Her lips are large, her face full, like she’s been receiving full rations from the day she was born. There’s scorn in her eyes as her fingers trace over the broken watch on Joel’s wrist.

    Ellie opens her mouth to ask about who in the hell she is when she notices the bloodstains on the girls’ violet shirt.

    She then notices the inhuman translucency of her skin.

    She then notices the way part of the girls’ leg phases through the couch.

     

    Oh.

     

    (TLDR: ellie can see ghosts. she can see sarah. it changes everything-- and nothing-- about her journey with joel.)

    Summary

    She worked slowly, methodically. Something about brushing down the horses, checking hooves, refilling feed—it was one of the only things that made sense anymore. Simple. Predictable.

    She was halfway through hauling a new bag of oats when she heard a voice behind her, friendly but unfamiliar.

    “Hey there.”

    Ellie jumped, dropping the bag. She found a man standing just inside the barn doors. Maybe in his early thirties. Taller than her, wearing a thick coat dusted with snow. His smile was a little too wide.

    Summary

    A moment of supreme calm and clarity strikes through her like lightning - no, she isn’t going with Tommy.

    Fuck him. Fuck both of the millers, this whole town, Maria included. Fuck all of them.

    He doesn’t get to do this to her, act like she’s this burden and then send her away into the wilderness with his brother. Send her away to sleep in the cold and be stalked by infected whilst he stays in this cosy house, this cosy life, bars and whiskey and horses and pancakes.

    No, she’s done listening to him.

    Ellie is going by herself to the university. And she is never, ever, going to see any one of these people ever again.
