Title: The Last Chance

Summary: Rodney didn't have 48,000 years to find a solution. He had a lifetime. His lifetime. "The Last Man" drabble.

Spoilers: Major spoilers for "The Last Man."

Disclaimer: It's not mine, but if no one wants it, I could always take it off your hands, lol.

A/N: I really enjoyed the episode "The Last Man" and I've always wanted to write something for the McKay of that alternate universe, where Sheppard was lost. I was also in the mood for angst, lol. :)

As always, I thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the source of all inspiration. :)


The Last Chance

It didn't matter.

The loneliness he felt when he actually remembered to sleep, and he found himself laying in bed, missing Jennifer so much it hurt.

The way he felt like he'd been punched in the chest when Lorne called with the news that Radek Zelenka was the Pegasus galaxy's latest casualty.

The whispered "Nutty Professor" comments that followed in his wake as he walked through the hallways.

The look on Jeannie's face when she came to tell him he'd missed Madison's graduation.

If he succeeded, none of that would ever happen.

So, it didn't matter. It didn't.

It couldn't.


A/N: I hope that you enjoyed it, and of course, please let me know what you think!

Take care and God bless!
