redismycolour. 100 words exactly, they got a little bit maudlin.
I'll try to get chapter 15 of Guilt up later today, but I feel really crappy so may not manage it.
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.
