This is a similar to a post I made awhile ago I understand if it's removed I want to hear y'all's opinion of ideas for this do y'all think I'm on point or just completely off I didn't go crazy with dialogue ideas just some thoughts maybe I'll go through and do a full on story with all the dialogue and such one day unsure 

Episode 1 mostly plays out the same but with an additional person to defend duck I doubt he would just quietly sit there you would also get the chance to talk to him learning about (head cannon warning) how he would volunteer at the public garden and how he enjoys painting ECT ECT you'd also learn about his family and such as well 

Episode 2 this is where Boyd really shines so I do believe that the group would still be struggling for food because at most Boyd is able to get a small garden set up just before Lee arrives with Ben we will have a little scene of Boyd teaching duck and Clem about the garden and such Boyd would be open to the idea of being at the saint johns unsure if he comes along or not but I will say he does Boyd will be locked in the meatlocker with Lee and crew he'd attempt to calm Larry and Kenny down failing unfortunately until Lee wakes up Larry has his heart attack and Kenny attempts to kill him I believe that Boyd would be massively against this so if Lee decides to pull lilly away Boyd will begin CPR calling you and Kenny insane if Lee helps lilly than Boyd will attempt to stop Kenny only to be pushed to the ground Boyd will stay with lilly for the rest of the episode making sure her and Clem are alright 

Episode 3 opens with Lee and Kenny in town like normal once they get back Boyd is scene painting with Clem Kenny cracks a joke in a somewhat serious tone referring to Boyd painting instead of doing something useful for the group the whole argument with lilly happens like normal lee talks to Boyd and learns that Boyd is worried about lilly explaining that he tried talking to her and that she just doesn't open up 

if Lee ends up revealing his past to Boyd depending on what Lee did in the meatlocker Boyd will say "why I'm I not surprised" in a quiet and disgusted tone if Lee didn't kill Larry Boyd will say something along the lines of that's alright the bandit attack occurs and that's when I believe Boyd dies but he goes out saving ducks life

Obviously duck living affects the story quite a bit I actually believe the little dude could last awhile but it's completely plausible that him or Katja get attacked when the group arrives in Savannah thanks to there being more people more panicking just a general higher likelihood that someone dies here I seriously doubt Katja would allow duck to learn to shoot even if Kenny was open to it so he'd likely be relatively useless until a later season if he even last that long it may just be a similar situation to Carlos and Sarah honestly

 anyway peace and love people hopefully y'all enjoyed the story

What if Boyd was in episode 1 instead of episode 4 short story
