The Doctor Dances

She let Jim carry on with his letter. After all, it was important for the boy to do so, as it gave him the smallest ounce of comfort that he would see his dad again.

After telling the kids what to do in case she didn't find her way back after going into the place where the strange bomb dropped she pointed out that none of them were safe as long as she stayed with them, and she was given the perfect example as a gentle tap tap tapping started in the room.

"Answer me this, Jim's sitting there, right next to you, so who's typing?" she had asked of Ernie, the oldest of the children there, and their eyes all turned towards the typewriter as it slowly typed letter for letter. Probably of the same sentence over and over again.

This, she decided was the weirdest thing Jamie had ever done since becoming this...thing. He had been calling for her over and over using phones and anything electronic, so she had begun thinking something at least needed a battery to work like this.

She could see each key being pushed down, and it isn't like typewriters were electronic or anything like that.

So how in the world was Jamie doing it?

Right, that's it, she was sure that she'd be able to believe anything now.

What next? She thought as she told the kids to eat their greens and to chew their food slowly. And as she ran to the disused railway station where the odd bomb dropped her mind filled with strange thoughts.

Next it will probably be space ships and time travel known her luck...
