"'just kids' didn't live past day one, Samuel. Anyway, I don't wanna kill the little future serial killers, that's too easy!" He smiled, walking back to Sami. "Good to see you're still with us, though. Heard all about ya. I gotta pick somebody. Everybody's waiting at the table for me to order."

He chuckled, walking over. "i've got an idea."

He held the bat up to Sami.

"Enenie. . . "

"Meenie. . . " Maggie.

"Miney . .. " Abraham.

"Mo." Michonne.

"Catch." Glenn.

"A tiger." Daryl.

"By." Rosita.

"His toe," Rick.

"if." Sasha.

"He hollers." Aaron.

"Let him go."

"My mother."

"Told me."

"To pick."

"The very."

"Best."

"One."

"And you."

"Are."

"It."

"Anybody moves, anybody says anything, cut the other boy's eye out and feed it to his father, and then we'll start."

"You can breathe. You can blink. You can cry. Hell, you're all gonna be doing that."

The bat came down on Abraham's head.

Sasha cried. Rosita was curled in on herself. 

Danny didn't move. He couldn't. Why couldn't he move?

Abraham. Abraham.

Abraham sat back up, a large chunk of his head gone, so much meat exposed that the blood barely flowed, blocked by it. 

Negan laughed. "Taking it like a champ!"

"Suck . . . my . . . nuts."

The next hit sent him to the cold, rocky ground. 

Negan didn't stop after that. 

He hit him again. And again. Again. 

Eugene sobbed beside Danny, face in his hands. Danny didn't even know he was clutching Eugene's arm. 

Every hit made Sasha flinch. The air was silent except for the thuds, Negan's grunts and the groups cries.

"Did you hear that?" Negan laughed, stumbling almost as if drunk as his bat dripped with blood, Abraham's face gone. "He said 'suck my nuts'."

He laughed, and began hitting Abraham's corpse more, his head little more than a stump.

"Oh, my goodness! Look at this!" Negan stopping hitting Abraham's corpse and spun his bat up onto his hand, Abraham's blood flying off the bat and onto Sami and Rick's faces.

"You guys!" Negan laughed, as a chuck of skin fell from his bat. "Look at my dirty girl!"

His eyes fell on Rosita, and he walked over, holding the bat out to her.

"Sweetheart, lay your eyes on this."

She wasn't looking at it. She was looking at the meat that used to be Abraham's face, tears rolling down her face, mouth trembling, as her whole body shook.
