Drabble: Empty Spaces

Title: Empty Spaces

Author: badly_knitted

Characters: Jack.

Rating: G

Written For: Challenge 374: Bare at tw100

Spoilers: Nada.

Summary: Jack looks around Ianto’s empty flat one last time.

Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.

The empty rooms echoed hollowly as Jack walked slowly through Ianto’s flat, checking that nothing had been missed. Opening the kitchen cupboards one by one, every shelf was as bare as the floorboards beneath his feet. The tins and packets were gone, along with the bottles of cleaning products from under the sink, the cutlery from the drawers, the plates, mugs and pans.

Take away everything that makes a house a home and all you’re left with are walls, ceilings and floors. It’s lonely.

Time to go. They still have everything to unpack into their new, bigger, equally empty flat.

The End

Whew! For a moment there I thought we were in the dark timeline that RTD created!

[bk_forever]

Nope! I wouldn't be so mean, but I still like to throw in a bit of misdirection!

Thank you!

You naughty girl, you really like to play with our nerves ;). Beautiful anyway. I love it.

Misdirection is so much fun ;)

Thank you!

Damn, woman! For a few seconds there, I thought I'd be all depressed after being sucked back into the black void RTD left us with. ;p Good one!

[bk_forever]

*grins* Would I be so mean as to depress everyone? Jack was just checking there weren't any of his secret lube stashes left behind, they might be needed in the new flat ;)

Thank you!

In the beginning I thought this was jack wandering Iantos appartment after his death but I am glad it turned out not to be.

Thank you!

I hate killing Ianto, it's so unnecessary.

I also thought it was after the children, but told myself that you would not do this to us or to Jack and Ianto !!!!.
So I was reassured after right
;-)

I would never do that, and especially not at Christmas. They have much happiness ahead of them.

Thank you!
