Word Count: 100
Summary: The Doctor ponders the price paid to end the Time War
Author's Note: Thanks to _medley_ for the title.  My first entry into the paliphrase bronze challenge

It occurred to him that it should matter. It should bother him. There should be some part of him that screamed at the injustice of it all. But he felt nothing.  He just sat in the TARDIS watching it all turn to ash and smoke.

The war was over.  The conflict done.

Finis. 

Somewhere a fat lady sang.  Not here.  No one was left to sing here.

Gallifrey was gone.  No more Time Lords. 

But the Daleks were exterminated.   Erased from time and space. 

Was it an even trade?  His people for the Daleks?

Now there’s just him. 

Empty. 

Alone.

It's never going to become something real. Well, probably never. Although April Fool's Day is coming up. But no. It won't let itself become anything other than lines here and there. Not happening. It SHOULDN'T happen.

Well, true. And my stuff either gets written fast or it doesn't get written, so.

absolutely understand what you mean about that. The crackcliche disaster I wasn't writing is nearly done

...I am filled with glee and horror. Mostly glee. I think.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

glee enough to be willing to beta it?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_medley_/]

Yes, but if my brain melts out my ears, I'm blaming you. *g*

You get blamed for everything you do, yes.
