For the carpe diem challenge on jackoneill100.

For the Loyal Trio!


Carpe diem.

Seize the day. Seize your chance. Take what the gods send and be grateful.

Jack thinks this is a good philosophy. He thinks so because he knows that nothing is certain.

It is not certain that Carter will be there to explain things, or that Teal'c will be there with his quiet strength, or that Daniel will be there to say "Of course you can do it!"

Because these things are things of flesh. Mortal, perishable.

Daniel can die. Carter can die. Teal'c can die.

Everyone, everything, can die, can be destroyed, disappear --

Carpe diem.

He intends to.
