Doctor Who Drabble: Silence

[bk_forever]

Title: Silence
Author: badly_knitted
Characters: Tenth Doctor.
Rating: G
Written For: Challenge 419: Pounce at dw100.
Spoilers: Silence in the Library.
Summary: Not even a library should be this quiet.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Doctor Who, or the characters.




There’s an eerie feeling about the place, as if something unnameable might be lurking around every corner, just waiting to pounce on the unwary, and yet the whole place seems deserted, as silent as a tomb.


Okay, so it’s a library, and libraries are meant to be quiet, but there’s quiet and then there’s… nothing.


There’s not a soul about; the whole planet should be teeming with people, everyone loves a good book and there’s no greater collection of them in the universe, yet there are no footsteps and not a page rustles.


Where is everyone? Something’s seriously wrong here.



The End

Yeah. and hospital ghosts can be a bit nasty.

I guess most ghosts can't speak so they have to show rather than tell.

Oh really? I better be on high alert if I want to work in a hospital.

I use to watch a local documentary show called "The Extraordinary". About paranormal and supernatural occurrences. Back in 1994. Gosh I don't know why my curiosity outweighed by reasoning for being spooked!:D

One episode was about American actor Telly Savalas encounter with a ghost that gave him a lift in their car. So some can talk. He found out later the real deal when he called the guys wife on the phone.

Yeah. My friend is very sensitive to ghosts and some parts of the hospital are very creepy indeed.

I never knew that about Telly Savalas. Interesting.

Twelfth Doctor: No, these people are literally, actually, dead. Wow. This is, it's amazing! I've never actually met a proper ghost!

That must be a challenging for your friend. My mum is very nonplussed about them. But then she worked in a morgue.

The story is still up on YouTube. The wife was offended with the call because she thought Telly Savalas was playing a prank call on her.

How strange that a ghost can still drive a car. I seriously do not know the guidelines for what ghosts can or cannot do. In non fiction it varies as well.*shrugs*

My friend has to go down to the hospital morgue.

I bet it would have upset her.

Strange that a ghost car can transport a living person.

Oh dear. She is brave to do so. I hope she has a coping strategy. Otherwise that would be stressful. Making positive affirmations perhaps?

Indeed. I guess you never know what to expect from the supernatural.*shrugs*

[bk_forever]

She has crystals for protection, they're really the most effective solution.

The supernatural is still very much unknown.

That's good to know she's handling it.:)

Yeah. Very mysterious...

[bk_forever]

She's sensible.
