Drabble: Fantastic Life 1/1
Drabble for
christn7 , who surprised me with a (living - ie, not dead!) Jack-drabble in my email earlier and which still needs to be posted.
Fantastic Life
The hologram fades even as his smile pierces her heart.
Have a fantastic life, he says. That’s the trouble. She was having it. With him.
He lied to her. Deceived her. Didn’t even (unlike Jack) let her say goodbye. He got rid of her - saved her life - but never asked if she wanted to be saved.
You could stay here and fill your life with work and food and sleep, or you could go, uh... anywhere.
The only place she wants to go is back. Even if it means she’ll die. She still wouldn’t have missed it for the world.
