The Jackie Tyler Drabbles 3: Out of Reach
So Jackie's still speaking to me. And so here's the third in the Those Who Get Left Behind drabble series. All rated G.
Summary for the series: Let me tell you something. About those who get left behind. Because it’s hard. And that’s what you become, hard.
Out of Reach
Cardiff. Why’s he have to take her to bloody Cardiff?
Bloody tosser doesn’t want her turning up, that’s why. Easy for him to say she can, but even if she could get the time off it’s too expensive. All right for Mickey with his Young Person’s Railcard. Be nice if there was a Middle-Aged Widow’s Railcard.
Course, she can phone, but not till after six. Costs too much without Friends and Family. Though, knowing him, they’ll have left by then.
Long as she’s there, though, only one alien to worry about. Even if Cardiff might as well be the moon.

With lots of thanks to christn7 for BRing even from his sickbed.
