Dark Matters (Drabble Project, Day 258)
The Doctor still dreams of them.
Sometimes, he dreamed of them.
Susan, left behind for her own good -- or at least, that's what he told himself.
Jamie and Zoe, their memories erased. And Donna; begging him not to do the same to her.
He wouldn't let himself dwell on Adric.
And how many lives had he spun out of their orbits, in the name of the greater good? How many of them, if they'd known the price of their path crossing his, would have taken the chance to turn away?
Was it any wonder, then, that his subconscious had given the Dream Lord form and malice?
