THE WALKING DEAD//NEGAN FANFIC FROM A WHISPERER POV- seasons 10-11 (possibly into dead city..)"You become friends with monsters, You either become one or you start to forget that they are, monsters."

He sat down, popped open a beer, and he offered me one. He told me, 'You may not have been a boy, but you were made for this. Most people are weak minded, the shy away at the sight of blood, the sign of conflict. The strong, they bath in it. You have to be a wolf, in a word full of sheep.'…
