This is so sad. :(( But it rings so true to Jack, and I like the little glimpses he has of the sideways world before he dies. And Vincent! *cries*

Oh, beautiful. Jack's death scene will never cease to move me and you wrote this so well. It's very moving. This part in particular brought a lump to my throat:

They’re all there; the ones he loved, the ones he hated, the ones he’s dying for, they stand with him---just synapses flickering, he realizes. Life flashing before his eyes. It’s a nice dream.

And "he lets go" is a great way to end it, especially for Jack and how much those words mean when it comes to him.

Great job. :)

I saw this prompt and my thoughts immediately went to Jack and I was hoping someone would write about him. His death never fails to bring me to tears and this is a wonderful and beautiful look into his last moments.
