Doctor Who Drabble: Scattered

Title: Scattered

Author: badly_knitted

Characters: Ninth Doctor

Rating: G

Written For: Challenge 025: Scattered at dw100

Spoilers: The End of the World.

Summary: 5 billion years in the future, humanity has come a long way.

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

Once upon a time, the beings who called themselves the human race had existed on just one small blue and green planet they called earth. That’s where they evolved and grew to become sentient, over time inventing all kinds of technology and eventually developing space flight.

By now humanity has spread across the universe, scattered among the stars, colonising every suitable planet they can find and mixing their gene pool with compatible species. Purebred humans are rare, but that’s just fine, the hybrids are more adaptable.

Earth itself is empty; everyone has left. This is the day the world ends.

The End

I like the idea of human DNA spreading across the universe. Now THAT'S immortality!

And probably the only way the species is going to survive in the long run!

Thank you!

I like your take on the subject matter.

Thank you! I enjoyed this one, I captured exactly what I wanted to. That's not always the case, some just come out better than others.

One of my fave episodes. Great drabble.

Thank you! It was the first time New Who left Earth, and it showed just how much more the advances in special effects would allow =)

Not a bad way to develop, really :)

No, at least we're progressing and making new friends.

Thank you!
