The Torchwood Drabble Files

by badly-knitted

A collection of Torchwood drabbles that continues to grow. Thanks to everyone who's making this possible. You're greatly appreciated, so I'm reinstating an old game - the writer of every 100th review gets to request a drabble/ficlet of their choice. Still using a T rating to cover anything I might write, just to be safe.

17. Laying Ghosts To Rest

Title: Laying Ghosts To Rest

Author: badly-knitted

Characters: Owen

Rating: PG

Written For: Challenge 258 – Ghost of a chance at tw100

Spoilers: For Ghost Machine

Summary: Owen couldn't let it go.

Disclaimer: I don't own Torchwood, or the characters.

A/N: This has been the toughest prompt to date for me, it's taken me all week to come up with one drabble. At least I got there in the end!

Thanks as always for all reviews, favourites etc. They are deeply appreciated!

Realistically, Owen knew there was little hope of solving the crime after so many years. Lizzie's murder was long forgotten by anyone except her family and friends.

He'd felt it all though, her terror, her pain. Her death. He couldn't let go, couldn't forget, he needed to do… something!

The very least she deserved was for the truth to come out, even if he couldn't bring her justice.

He had a name, Ed Morgan. That was a start. Maybe the bastard still lived.

It was the slimmest of chances, but even the ghost of a chance was better than none.

The End

A/N: So, finally, I have a drabble! Sorry for the long wait, my brain was not co-operating this week. Please review so at least I know this wasn't a wasted effort, lol!
