Wilf's Choice (Drabble Project, Day 286)
Oct. 12th, 2012 04:27 amRewrite of the end of End of Time
Trigger Warning: Character Death
From the control booth where he's trapped, Wilf watches helplessly as the Doctor runs through the stages of grief in under a minute.
He sees the moment when the decision is made to sacrifice himself to save Wilf. He's going to cost himself a life, a whole life, to buy Wilf, at best, a few more years. Looking at it rationally, it's an utterly ridiculous exchange.
But the Doctor's made up his mind; he ignores Wilf's protests and crosses to the booth.
There's only one thing to do. Wilf begins hitting buttons at random, until he's consumed by white light.
