Jack's Departed Village

The twenty-first century is when it all changes.

He’d been saying it for years, but now, walking through the frost in the deserted - destroyed - streets, he realised its truth.

His life had certainly changed. He’d found the Doctor - finally - and yet had chosen to leave him again.

He’d built a team - a family, really - and lost them again, one by one.

He’d found love in Ianto, welcomed it for the first time in decades, and now… that too was lost.

A lone bird sang in the distance, but Jack heard not its tale as he wandered the departed city alone.
