Drabble: Hope
For
ellisbelle, who requested the Third Doctor.
He had known it would kill him, but he did it anyway, because it was the right thing to do.
He's good at it, doing the right thing. Not so good at what comes after. The TARDIS spins in the vortex, and he spins within. He really hadn't thought this through.
He doesn't want to die alone. Having conquered one fear, he now struggles with another.
The shudder of materialization brings him hope. He staggers to his feet and manages to open the door.
"Doctor!"
The sight of her is enough to make him smile.
"The TARDIS brought me home."
