Brief summary: Without getting into major spoilers for those who haven't seen the show yet, Jack is a changed man after Doctor Who. I love how the author explored his realization of what's happened to him and his uneasy acceptance. He faces possible endings and moves on, because he has to.


The first time it’s a shock, suddenly gasping for air after certain death, confusing Satellite 5 for some strange joke of an afterlife for one or two seconds.

Then pain comes flooding back and he is assuming he is alive. Again. Still. He’s not too sure. The pain seeps deeper when he discovers the TARDIS fading, leaving him behind. Afterwards he sits and listens to the dying station, the deafening silence of thousands of corpses.

He wonders if Death forgot him like a Time Lord obviously did.

He sits, waiting to find out who will come back for him first.
