No Time Lost
The August sun beat down on dusty hills. A sound of screeching metal rent the air as a blue box materialized.
The door opened, and a man stumbled out backwards, bowing and stammering words of gratitude. He turned and ran off to the south.
Three figures watched him leave.
"Think he'll be okay?" Jack asked.
The Doctor nodded. "Not far from here."
"Can you believe he was gonna run the whole way?" Rose sighed.
"After that battle, too!" Jack shook his head.
The Doctor scoffed. "Probably would've given himself a heart attack. It's more than twenty six miles from Marathon!"
