Challenge: Remembrance
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
It's the end of the year. The last turn of the seasons into winter for those of us in northern parts; and the last fleeting days of spring before summer turns on full blast for those of us south of the Equator. All Souls' was yesterday. Remembrance Day is coming up. Jack's gone (at least for the moment). The Doctor himself is close to changing faces. There's a lot of change in the wind this month, so our proposal to you is to remember.
Cast an eye back over history - ours, Jack's, the Doctor's, Earth's, Time's, the TARDIS's - and tell us a story of the way things were, of the torch that almost went out, or of the person who held it high.
Because stories keep us from forgetting. And there's a lot of great stuff to remember!
As a gentle reminder, please don't crosspost stories for this challenge elsewhere until the challenge closes about one month from now. And don't forget - leave a comment in THIS post and tell us what you think the next challenge should be!
