The Lonely God

That's what he is. Lonely. He is the Oncoming Storm. A Time Lord. He is majestic, brilliant, powerful.

But alone.

He has friends, companions. People who travel with him. But they never stay. They leave. They grow old. They die.

He never ages.

That's why he travels. To forget the loneliness. Even if it's just for a moment. He runs from it, the sadness and heartache.

He has seen the universe, but he has no home. A wanderer.

Some call him the Lonely God. He is lonely and powerful, that part is true. But he is more.

He may be weary, but he travels anyway. He wanders the universe and fixes it. Where there is crisis, he is there also. He meets people and changes them. He brings hope. He saves. It's what he does.

He is old, so old. But he is kind.

He is the Doctor.


Hmm... was that a little corny? Or maybe cliche. Or maybe it's just lame.

It seemed brilliant when I started to write it. Now... I'm not sure I like it.

Anyway... this could be about any doctor. For me, when I read it, I envision the 10th, but if you think of your favorite doctor, it can be your favorite doctor.

Hope some of you like it.
