Summary: Some first date...

With thanks to

Adrift

He blows up her planet, flirts with a tree, invades her privacy, almost leaves her to die and then acts like it’s her fault. Some first date.

Okay, he takes her home afterwards. Back in the familiar streets of London in 2005, Platform One is just a bad dream. Fast rewind: Earth is whole, the sun’s in its proper place, she’s not the last genuine human and no-one’s blue.

Why did he take her there? Morbid curiosity? Disaster tourism?

My planet’s gone.

Reality shifts; perception alters completely. She’s fine, yeah, but she’s lucky. At least she can go home again.

END
