Disclaimer: Doctor Who it... it's not mine. Also, Rose's monologue quote is from Army of Ghosts, and tweaked a bit by me.
Rose climbed atop the largest rock she could find, stared longingly at the bay in Norway, and wondered how it could be so calm in this calamity she now calls life. She expected unexplainable global disasters, wars without cause, worldwide panic, anything. A sign, a something. But nothing's changed. It's only her.
Planet Earth, Rose began a monologue in her mind. This is where I was born. And this is where I died. For the first nineteen years of my life, nothing happened. And then I met a man called the Doctor. And he took me away from home in his magical machine. He showed me the whole of time and space. I thought it would never end. That's what I thought. Then one day I discovered how true that thought would become. And that's when it all began. This is the story of how I died.
"Rose!" the Doctor called. "Tides coming in."
Rose sighed, "Jus' give me a minute. I was having a moment, Doctor."
"You can have a moment in the TARDIS." He walked a circle, unable to decided whether to leave or come closer. "Why did you even want to come here anyway? Beaches are warm, Rose. This is in the dead of winter. No fun, no sun, no... swimsuits..." he trailed off, eyes staring at her but not.
Given some time he snapped back. "I know! Hinining! Lovely beach, great climate! And the ocean grows edible tropical fruit! Right there floating on the surface, and it's," he collapsed a bit at the knees then straightened right back up. "Rose, you'll love it."
But when she didn't respond he resorted to childish plays for attention.
"Rooose," he exasperated, shoulders hunched. "Rose, this is a sham of a beach. Only water and sand, it needs a dash of summer. Let's go." He hopped from foot to foot. "Rose."
"Alright," Rose relented. But just as she was getting down, the tide went up, and swept her in it. She felt her feet slipping with the waves, saw the Doctor tip with the world, and dreaded what came next.
"Rose!" she heard him shout. He reacted too late, she knew. Rose heard her skull crunch as it jammed against the boulder. Felt a flare of pain engulf her, take her, drift her into darkness.

Weeping Angels: The reverse Medusa concept.
(Snakes not included)
I was re-watching Groundhog Day when I thought this up. Really fun movie. Also, when I thought about posting this I got curious. I mean time loops, it's has to have been done before, and yes! It has. First Groundhog Day by Impossible Oswin. Main characters are Amy and Eleven. It doesn't have an ending if I remember correctly, but I do remember my favorite part involved bubble wrap. I also enjoyed it because it's close to what I came up with, in a sense that it always ends in death, different explanations and plots obviously, but I'd say check it out!
The second I can't find again for the life of me. I'm not exactly sure how I found it in the first place now. It had Jack, Nine, and Rose. They were visiting an alien planet, then somehow only Jack and Rose started reliving the same day over and over. There was a day Rose only ate chocolate, I think. If anyone can find it or has read it please tell me, it was a fun read. If it helps, I remember the day always began with them telling joke in the TARDIS. Eventually they got tired of hearing it, and screamed NO.
Next chapter will be posted October 31.
