Greetings! Sorry I haven't posted in a while. Would anyone like some snow? I do international shipping XP

But seriously the weather here has been a bit ridiculous.

Remember to write something in the review box at the bottom of the page!

Title: False Hope

Episode: Death in Heaven

He stands there, looking at the controls. It can't be that easy, can it? If it was there, we would know. I would know. I would hear it, I would hear my siblings singing in the Vortex. He would have sensed his people. Yet…

…yet we never bothered to check…

Slowly his fingers type in the numbers as if they have a mind of their own. His fingers have typed in those numbers before, only to erase them as soon as they flash on the screen. This time, the numbers stay, and the hand flips the dematerialization switch.

It is a silent flight.

What if she was right? What if it is there? What if…?

Oh no…

I can only watch as my Thief walks to my doors. I hold back my emotions as he opens the door to empty space.

No star.

No planets.

No Gallifrey.

He closes the door and walks slowly to the console in shock. Of course it wasn't that easy. Of course she would lie. Of course she would make sure she had the last laugh. Of course she would take a secret like this to the grave. We both knew it deep down but chose to ignore it.

His resolve breaks and all the anger, all the frustration, all the hope and sadness and loneliness and longing and guilt and all the pain bursts forth. He takes it out on me, the nearest object and being, the most convenient thing to beat upon. I let him pound my console; I even throw in a few sparks for added affect. If I could, I would do the same. As it is, I scream out into the Vortex as my hope burns away.

Of course it wouldn't be that easy. Finding something that is lost is never that easy.
