#226 - Past Prompts Revisited : #70 - The Future

by elfin


Jack flounces in like a pair of velvet curtains.  �Every time I see you, you�ve re-decorated.�

The Doctor slouches on a couch that isn�t there; crumpled shirt, loose tie, hands stuffed into coat pockets, miserable as fuck but the attraction is as strong as always.  �Every time I see you I�m sure it�s the last.� 

The TARDIS walls shift; autumn colours sliding over purple and black before the dark recovers them. 

�I need to travel.�  Shadows fill Jack�s eyes.  

He sees the truth.  �You need to escape.�

�Can I?� 

�Sure.�  He feels the pull, wonders why he ever fought it.
