Bouncing along and then wham:

Eyes closed, he could dream he’d taken her home.

So very poignant and heart-rending.

Thanks so much for your comment. Writing this series, I was thinking, what if there's a little eco-preserve somewhere, a tantalizing remnant of Gallifrey -- and then I realized how hard it would hit him. A drabble has to end with that punch -- so I appreciate your comment a lot!

Outside my house I have tuned chimes (c pentatonic). A very appropriate background noise for this story! (though they should be minor/modal I think!)

[fannishliss]

thanks! that bittersweetness is what I was going for. :)

Becoming quite the fan here. ;) Maybe 'cause my muse likes to work in "long form" it amazes me how well you can sketch in a drabble.

"The trees pulled a song out of long ago..."

Love the concept.

"His eyes were closed, senses open."

Love the character presence in it. Very Nine at that, he lives in the moment with a particular honesty. Anyway, said in "serious Rose" voice: "Beau'iful."

what a lovely comment!! thanks so much.

I trained as a poet, so I've had to really work at things like "plot" that make for a longer piece. Language and image are my main things in writing.

Thanks for that comment on Nine and his character presence. I'll try to keep that insight into Nine forward in my thoughts! :)
