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.

245. Out Of Step

Title: Out Of Step

Author: badly-knitted

Characters: Jack, mentions the Doctor and Martha

Rating: PG

Written For: Challenge 304 – Time Zones at tw100

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

A/N: My first drabble for this challenge. I don't know if I'll manage more as the prompt isn't proving very inspiring. Anyone have any ideas of what I could do with it?

I love Janto: They find many ways to entertain themselves while the rest of the team are out. I suspect they don't always stay out of trouble though! Thank you.

Jack stood in the Plas, alone and feeling exhausted. The Doctor and Martha had left, fading away in the TARDIS and he realised he had no idea what day it was, or even what time of day. He couldn't even work it out from the position of the sun, currently hidden behind heavy clouds.

He'd travelled all over the universe, was accustomed to jet lag, but this was far worse than crossing time zones. He was out of step with the rest of the world. A whole year had ceased to exist; it never happened. He needed time to readjust.
