The Key To It All

by mooshymoomoo

After the Doctor left, Donna's memory was wiped. She can't account for the things she's missed. But the one thing that bothers her most is a tiny metal key that doesn't seem to have a lock...

What have I forgotten?

There must be something I missed...

Every big event this year, just like this.

"Donna, do you remember that?"

"What?"

"How could you have missed it? Really! Are you insane?"

"Yeah, right. That's a laugh. Aliens."

"Honestly Donna, what goes on inside that brain?"

When I'm home, I catch Granddad staring at me.

What is it?

I guess it's just something I don't see.

I was the only one.

So all the planets moved?

I guess I missed out on the fun.

The only thing they missed was... a bee?

Well, that definitely doesn't explain this key...

Such a puzzle, a mystery.

I'm just a temp.

A nothing of a job, not a big deal.

But recently things just... Don't seem real.

It's like I'm in a fog.

My mind is in a haze.

I can't figure out what it is with me these days.

Little shiny thing.

Can't find a lock it fits.

Not a clue where it came from.

Tried everything.

I suppose it's just junk.

A filing cabinet, or a trunk, or a locket.

And yet, I feel it's special.

That's why I keep it in my pocket.
