Author's Note: This just kinda popped into my mind. Well, the last line popped into my mind. I loved it so much that I had to come up with the rest of the story so that I could share the line. ^_^ Anyway, since I've started to watch the new season of Doctor Who, and work through the latest seasons, I've decided to create yet another collection of drabbles, this time Doctor Who ones. All of my random muses and oneshots with the Doctor shall be posted here. Enjoy!
This is the Eleventh Doctor, by the way. Realized I should mention that.
Disclaimer: I don't own the Doctor, nor the universe. Wouldn't that be cool though.
Sometimes, when he found a moment of peace between running and fighting and taking a stand, he would sit in a comfy chair overlooking space, and think about the universe.
And while he was thinking about the universe, he would think about the human race, and their place in relation to the universe. Then he would realize that, even though there were literally billions of them crawling over hundreds of planets that they were, in fact, very, very small.
True, they left their mark in the time of things; he was there most of the time when it was happening. But for all of their genius and creativity, he couldn't stop his mind from leaving the good things and taking that less traveled road to the darker side of that particular race. How much destruction they were able to create, and their capability to resort back to barbarianism.
How, in a moment of darkness, they would fall upon each other in desperation.
How it could only take a single man – one out of billions – to unite the people, and bring them together to overtake the darkness. Then he thought about that man, and how – throughout history – there was always someone else there standing behind that man or beside him, waiting for him to come home.
He wondered if it was possible – in such a cold and unforgiving vastness that is the universe – for a single man to forge on and survive all by himself with no one else.
It was about that time, that a small, satisfying smirk would grace his features, because he wasn't just a man. He was The Doctor.
Review!
