Still Water

The lake was still and silent. Jack sat, just as still, just as silent, fishing pole laying abandoned beside him on the small dock.

This downtime was supposed to be about picking up the pieces and redefining SG1. But Carter had headed off to California and Teal'c was visiting Ry'ac. Jack should've stopped them, maybe invited them up to the cabin with him, but he really couldn't care right now.

Daniel was gone, leaving nothing behind except one brief breeze in a corridor.

So Jack sat and stared at the lake, waiting for just one ripple in the smooth surface.
