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.

30. Maybe

A/N: A bit of a gloomy one this week, sorry! I'll try to write another that's more upbeat, but no promises.

Thanks to all those who have read, favourited and followed, and especially to those who have taken the time to review. It's always a treat to hear what my readers think, so please continue!

Tosh stares at nothing, contemplating her empty life as the old year ends. Another year of coming home alone to an empty flat, of having her hopes dashed, of Owen ignoring her and leaving more scars on her heart with his thoughtlessness.

On TV bells chime, fireworks explode, marking a new year. She feels a tiny surge of hope; maybe this year will be different, maybe she'll meet someone who appreciates her, even loves her. Maybe when next year arrives she won't be alone. It's not much, but hope is all she has to cling to and so she does.

The End

A/N2: Poor Tosh, she deserved to be be loved =(
