Writing a fanfic about the S2 Wellington ending
Hey folks. I'm putting together a little fanfic piece speculating what might have happened to Kenny after he left Clem & AJ in Wellington. (Sorry, Ken-haters...he doesn't kill himself.)
But I'm torn between two possible directions. Either he goes north and disappears into Canada, or travels south to Mexico, following up on a suggestion Clem made. I've decided not to have Kenny return to Florida, as he and Clem were already heading that way in ANF, and there's probably too many memories of Duck & Katjaa for him to want to revisit.
Which way do you think Kenny should go?

Sounds like a good idea. He would have probably stayed around the area for a while in hope that he would have been let in to Wellington. I like the idea of him trying to go to Canada though.
i think he would have stayed around Wellington and when he discovered that Wellington was destroyed and he saw that Clem wasnt one of the people who died then he would set out to look for her but never find her cause realism.
Canada isn't as cold as everyone says. I live in Canada.
There's an idea: Kenny could return to Wellington a few months later, only to see it's been wiped out. His first instinct would probably be to pursue Clem, but he wouldn't have any idea where to start. Hell, maybe he'd travel to Mexico because that's all he'd have to go on.
Going to Florida was completely Kenny's idea so i don't see why he wouldn't decide to go there alone. He knows the area and can find some good people and fish and boat for food. And he would feel closure by returning to his homeland after so long. I honestly think he would choose Florida over those two options.
But if that's truly not an option and it is either Canada or Mexico, then he would definitely choose Mexico. He claims he was sick of the cold and i dont see why he would head deeper into a frozen wasteland that is unlikely to have many people or supplies.
On the other hand Mexico is warm and full of food, and the journey there would likely result in him finding some allies along the way. It also leaves the possibility for finding a boat open.
Canada. No question. It could open to so many possibilities... another country that speaks the same lenguage, avoiding unessesary problems (unless that's what you want), the cold and snow as a methaphor for the world going to hell (haha), walkers moving slower, dying faster because of the cold, so society isn't as fucked up as in the south... maybe militar groups taking control.
agh i'm just daydreaming here don't mind me
...unless losing Duck, Katjaa, and Sarita have made him SO wary about being among other people, he craves isolation above everything else. He could simply be afraid he's become a "jinxed" person like Ben, and letting anyone get close to him is lethal.
I see what you mean but that wasnt the case. In the Kenny flashback he clearly longs for the company of good people and is willing to take the risk of meeting strangers, despite being with two kids who were family to him. And I dont think this feeling would change if he was on his own in the Wellington ending.
Cana would make room for many funny Kenny lines.
