Tag by Drabble - an open challenge
I've seen a couple of 'drabble tags' or 'drabble trees' going around, and so I decided to do my own version here. Anyone, whether on my flist or not, is welcome to take part, whether you consider yourself a writer or not :)
Rules:
1. A drabble is defined in its correct meaning: 100 words, no more, no less. So no 150-word ficlets, no 80-word ( Read more... )

Time ticks away.
Two minutes, he said. So much to say, it’ll never be enough. Yet the words just won’t come.
Babbling about working in a shop, more Tylers on the way, Bad Wolf Bay... none of it’s what she really wants to tell him. It’s all meaningless, just as his replies are.
And time’s ticking away.
He’ll travel still - not on his own, of course. She’d never want that. She loves him, she tells him; never thought she’d say it, but now there’s nothing to lose.
His eyes are eloquent as he says her name...
Time runs out.

They really were, weren't they? He didn't need to say the words that followed, it was all in the way he said her name, the way he looked at her then. As if 'Rose Tyler' is the most beautiful thing he's ever heard. Beautiful drabble.
