September 18th | Day 3 Brian Blake sits in the closet of a house tightly covering the ears of his niece Penny Blake next to him from the sounds of heads being smashed in just outside. Brian is worried about the trauma Penny has gone through over the past three days of the apocalypse and starts violently coughing which brings out a couple dead things. Brian looks up to his younger brother Phillip who always seems to know what to do. The noises stop outside the closet and Philip Blake opens the door. He tells them they got all the dead things and Brian asks if hes sure. Philip ignores him and comforts Penny. They walk out the closes and Brian sees the bodies of a recently reanimated family dead on the floor. He throws up

Bobbie stops to rest next to a dog house in the garden and is bitten by the missing child who was hiding in there. Philip drags the kid off him and Nick kills it. Philip ties Nick's belt around Bobbie's leg and tries to comfort him while Nick attempts to bandage his leg but is refused by Bobbie who tries to put the nailgun up to his head. Philip decides they should amputate his leg when Brian realises and tells them he's died. Bobby begins to reanimate so Philip shoots him with the nailgun. Philip starts having dark and raging thoughts later in the day and the group decides they should leave tomorrow. Nick and Philip bury their friend to the sound of a dozen zombies.

Notes[]
- The novels and comics are set in the same universe as the Telltale Series.
- Although we evaluated the many dates given for the cause of the outbreak in "Around Every Corner", we found out that the start of the outbreak was in July 19th, 2003. However in the Novels the outbreak started roughly on September 23rd, 2012 and Robert Kirkman stated in his letter hack that the outbreak started around early October, 2003 (Which further supports this date) although these dates differ, this page will use the dates given in the Novel, like how the Telltale Series Timeline uses the dates there. The Comic Series Timeline, however will remain without dates to avoid confusion.
- The year will be dropped however because Robert Kirkman himself stated that the year was 2003 which is supported by both the comics and video games. The year 2012 was likely chosen because it was the year "The Road to Woodbury" was written and published in which the date was mentioned.
