Title: Stray Javelin
Author: kikibug13
Characters: Jack.
Challenge: 80: Life before Torchwood
Rating: PG-13 (for character death)
Notes: Toying around. Spoilers for... nothing particularly recent, actually (DW 3.11 Utopia? I think).
His first thought on opening his eyes was to curse again the burnt-out manipulator. If only it had worked right. If only it hadn't broken down so completely. If only he'd landed closer...
He looked around himself, getting his bearings.
It was a stupid javelin, that's what it was. Sticking high and thin out of his abdomen.
There's no possible way I could have survived that, he thought.
Or that Dalek beam. Or that bullet. Or that fall.
It took a lot of his still newly found courage to face the fact finally. He hadn't survived. It'd just not stuck.
