Brief encounter of the Time Lord kind

This is what a person could think after bumping into the Doctor, just in the street. I'm setting on the Powell estate; they got a lot of Doctor related encounters. Maybe set just after Doomsday. Doctor doing some morning maybe? Bit of hope for a place that's lost all.

I don't own Doctor who (drat).


I saw that man again in the street today. He's sometimes with that girl, you know, she went missing for a whole year. Mickey Smith's girl. He's disappeared too. Maybe he did kidnap that girl, he's in prison. Maybe. Odd lot, that man, Jacky, Mickey, Rose (yeah that's her name), a bit like some makeshift famous five, without the dog of course. He always had this air about him, and the man that they hung about with before, like he was in control. Totally. Only today his shoulders were slumped, he scuffed his feet. He fiddled with a set of keys in his hand. Muttering, whispering, sobbing? I wondered what was wrong. I'd liked him. Even though he'd never spoken to me, ever.

I watched him walk past, I'd stopped my bike to see him. He looked over to me and smiled. I wanted to run to him, ask what was wrong, and ask that I could come with him. But then he was gone. And that odd sound returned. That groaning sound. Churning, metallic, blood curdling. Everything that's ever happened here has started and ended with that sound. So maybe the ghosts, and the monsters have gone, it's the end.

I hope.
