Story 50: " Whose Work Has Come to Nothing" by bcfan

This story offers a very different take on what the future holds for our heroes. It begins many years after the events of "The Truth," in a post colonization world. The war has come and gone, the good guys have won, and now there are other battles to face, more personal ones, some of them the sort that we all may face at some point in our lives. Mulder is facing a chronic, debilitating illness, albeit with Scully there at his side. Having discovered that William's adopted parents are dead, they want to be reunited with their son.

The premise sounds depressing but it really is not. I enjoyed this gentle, loving tale of disability faced with courage and resilience. And Love. The title is from a poem by W.B. Yeats.

Whose Work Has Come to Nothing

As always, let the author know what you think; let us know what you think; and please, give us your suggestions for next time.
