Whispers
The Doctor could hear whispers in the darkness. The world was grey. Zagerus lurked under the bed. The whispers urged him back to Clara, though he needed no pushing. Even when Clara stood beside him, he could hear the whispers, just out of frame, always the same voice.
It was late and the Doctor laid against the console room floor. The console was still damaged, but it no longer sparked. There was darkness outside of the TARDIS and darkness within the TARDIS. He opened his hearts and the whispers came to him. The Doctor closed his eyes and reached out, uncertain of what he might touch.
Long nails nicked his skin and he could smell a faint scent of a floral perfume fitting of the early 1900's in England. The Doctor closed his fist, and for a moment there was a hand there, but when his eyes snapped open, his fingers curled around air and all that was above him was wires.
Faintly he thought he heard, "Say something nice," in the darkness.
The Doctor licked his lips and held his breath, worried that if he spoke, the TARDIS might cease.
