Brian's Log: Day 396
[Set after 'The Angels Take Manhattan and based upon the un-shot scene 'P.S' by Chris Chibnall.]
So, I've gone viral! Turns out, the internet reaches wider audiences. I've posted the videos up on that YouTube site-thingy I keep hearing about. You may have noticed that I haven't actually made a log for about five weeks now. It's because there hasn't been anything to report. Until, I got a letter the other week, a sad letter.
As you will now know I have a son, Rory and he married a girl, beautiful girl, Amy. They travelled with a man, a wonderful man, the Doctor. He wasn't exactly human, and they didn't just travel. They travelled through time and space. Sometimes, even though they had a time machine, they wouldn't come back for months.
So, I wasn't surprised when I hadn't seen them for about a week, but that's when I got a letter, a letter from Rory.
He told me how he was stuck, stuck in the past. Almost eighty years ago, before I was even born. But its okay, I guess. See, the man who handed me the letter, who knocked on Rory's door that day, he was my grandson.
Anthony is his name, lovely bloke. Amy and Rory adopted him in 1940 and he didn't know about their past until he was about eighteen. They decided they would tell him, explain why this all happened. For some unknown reason, he seemed to understand and accepted that his parents weren't... normal.
We are very alike, me and him. We both love our gardening for starters, but we also like to travel and everything! He was an English teacher in an American high school near where he grew up. He was always annoyed that he had an American accent, unlike his parents. He even said when he was younger he used to put on an English accent, just because he preferred it. Being the patriot that I am, I'm rather proud to be honest.
We meet every weekend, he moved over to England in the nineties after Amy had died, so it would be easy for him to contact me at the right time. He had held that letter with him for years, just waiting for me to be able to understand him. Rory was a big fan of Back to the Future, I guess that's where hge got the idea of giving a letter to someone, to hand to someone else in the future.
But when it comes to the Doctor, Anthony had only heard of him, from the stories and he hasn't come to see me either, I don't know if the Doctor's going to say goodbye at all. I don't blame him; he probably blames himself for whatever happened to them, but I know it wasn't. I trust him, and if he wants to come and talk to me, he can.
Anyway, I'm off to New York with Anthony, he wishes to show me something there. I've always wanted to visit New York, see the Statue of Liberty. I don't quite know what he wants to show me, but I'm sure it's significant. I haven't only gained a grandson, I've gained a friend.
Anthony Brian Williams, I like that name.
