psd is a heavily edited sandbox love by ariapsds !
my replies are not very long because i have adhd , it’s nothing personal . please don’t pressure me to match length
in addition , my adhd means it’s likely that i’ll move blogs / choose a new muse when i want to and should i want to . this is my hobby and my choice , any issues with this will result in a block
i will block marble hornets and everyman hybrid blogs for my own comfort . nothing personal !

𝑐𝘩𝑎𝑟𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑒𝑟 𝑛𝑜𝑡𝑒𝑠 :
born 1972 in a tiny town in minnesota , when she was 6 her ma walked out on her and her pa . she was raised being told all about how he’d hunt her down and kill her one day .
dawn expected he’d kill her when she was 10 after he lost his job at the butcher shop , her problems seem to always be about meat . her pa got in hot water when neighbourhood pets started going missing , and he skipped town with her soon after .
they drifted until she was 14 , moving from state to state . her pa’s jobs were odd , and infrequent . as soon as she was allowed , dawn began working to help support them .
she met abraham when they finally stopped running in texas . he was a year her senior and nearly a foot taller , he punched a boy who called her cheap in the face .
her father forbid her to see him , saying boys like abe were trashy . dawn saw him in secret for three years and was his prom date . three months after prom night she found out she was pregnant .
she cried in the bathroom of the diner she was working at and ripped up her pack of cigarettes she just bought . her friends encouraged her to get rid of the problem , abe was the only one who told her she was allowed to want whatever outcome she wanted .
dawn and abe were married quickly after , and roy lost it upon finding out that she was eloping . she was found in a crawlspace behind her closet the next morning by abraham , holding a knife . she never went home again .
they moved to dallas and their son was born . abe enlisted in the army and for ten years they got by . they had two more kids when dawn felt ready again , becca followed by abraham junior .
her eldest died a year before the outbreak , in a car crash when he was in dc for school . the funeral was held there , and dawn was seriously considering relocating the family to washington before all hell broke loose .
she went on the run with her husband and children when society began to unspool . it was during a supply run , when an overzealous competitor for resources gave dawn a black eye that abraham finally snapped . he would have beaten the man to death in front of her and the kids if she hadn’t hidden yet again . this time from him .
dawn played understanding , if shaken . that night , she wrote her last love letter to him and snuck out of their camp with becca and a.j. she begged abe not to follow them , and gave no indication of where she was going .
desperate to protect the family she had left , dawn circled back and took her kids to her father’s house . she swore never to return and she shouldn’t have . the old fuck had guns and food but he was still alive and not keen to let her or the children go .
the abuse was an echo of her childhood , magnified by paranoid obsessions that gripped roy on a whim . she endured it for the safety and protection he provided , unaware it was beginning to affect her kids . he began locking dawn’s children in the cellar for transgressions when she left for supplies .
when she came home to find bruises on her youngest , she put a gun under her father’s chin and pulled the trigger .
the sound terrified an already skittish a.j. , who ran from dawn when she tried to comfort him . he triggered a walker trap rushing out of the house , falling into a pit that was already occupied by the intended victim . dawn buried her son and burned the thing that killed him .
becca was never the same . only 12 , the loss of her whole family except for her mother was deeply traumatizing . she never said a word after her brother died , and in the first winter she followed him .
with resources running scarce , dawn saw no point in staying any longer . she packed up and left with her father’s replica bayonet on her back , the old relic proving deadly in close quarters or at a distance .
now she makes her way towards dc , she misses her firstborn .
