Mother

The Fifth Doctor tries to remember his mother. A drabble despite the site's usual miscounting.

MOTHER

I dreamt about my mother.

When I try to remember my mother, I almost can….

In the dream, I remembered, but now I can't remember the dream.

When Nyssa speaks fondly of her stepmother, when Tegan complains about her mum, I feel such sadness, such longing, but for what?

Nyssa asked me if I'd even recognize my mother, or she me, because we've regenerated. I wonder! Have my mother and I unknowingly crossed paths? Could she know me without my knowing her?

When I imagine meeting her but remaining unacknowledged, I'm unsure whether what I feel is comfort or dread.
