Renascent
It would be so easy.
A few minutes of pain, and then all over; no more memories, no more anguish, no more the killer of his kind. Completely reborn, totally human. Just John Smith, ordinary man. No more Time Lords, just as it should have been.
The chameleon arch beckons.
No more Doctor. A new life, anonymous, among humans; to live and then to die. A final, irreversible death - no more unwanted regenerations.
A signal calls; a distraction. One little problem to sort out before seizing the ordinary.
Until one touch, one word - Run! - begins life again.
END
