Spoilers: For Ghost Machine
Summary: Owen couldn’t let it go.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.
A/N: This has been the toughest prompt to date for me, it’s taken me all week to come up with one drabble. At least I got there in the end!
Realistically, Owen knew there was little hope of solving the crime after so many years. Lizzie’s murder was long forgotten by anyone except her family and friends.
He’d felt it all though, her terror, her pain. Her death. He couldn’t let go, couldn’t forget, he needed to do… something!
The very least she deserved was for the truth to come out, even if he couldn’t bring her justice.
He had a name, Ed Morgan. That was a start. Maybe the bastard still lived.
It was the slimmest of chances, but even the ghost of a chance was better than none.
The End

Date: 2012-11-02 04:01 pm (UTC)I just got an idea for mine that I'm working on. Not a genius one, but I can make it work.

Date: 2012-11-02 04:54 pm (UTC)On the face of it, the prompt should have seemed easy - there are a lot of Torchwood episodes where something or someone has a very slim chance of succeeding with something or other - but actually making a drabble out of it... I'm hoping for a one-word prompt next week, they're easier to interpret!
I just might have a silly little idea I can turn into one of my not-canon based fun drabbles with a Halloween feel, just have to see if it will work.

Date: 2012-11-02 07:32 pm (UTC)I couldn't come up with anything, so I went and looked at the list of episodes and Ghost Machine jumped out at me - it's a good thing too, as none of the others did!
Did you get my email about the cookies? Wonderful =D

Date: 2012-11-03 09:40 pm (UTC)I spent four days trying to come up with an idea and I got nowhere until I looked at an episode guide. The only episode I thought I could do something with was this one. Sorry to pinch your idea - I always seem to be pinching someone's. =P
I actually have another one I plan to post tomorrow, one of my dafter, non-episode ones. I had to re-write it though because the first draft seemed a bit insensitive considering Hurricane Sandy.
