Chapter Text
"My name... Is of no matter... Some call me... The Doctor. I come from the lost planet of Gallifrey... Which I destroyed with my bare hands... Singlehandedly took billions of lives that could've been saved... I fled in grief, with the weight of all these lives on my rugged shoulders.
...I can't take it anymore..."

CHAPTER 1; A Death Bed...? How Depressing.
--
What an odd man... How did he get past all of security...? He didn't look like a nurse... Really scruffy looking guy. Short and grey hair, tattered coat, gruff mumbling, and a cold stare. For a moment I would swear he was a homeless man trying to steal some medicines from the hospital. His pacing was quite stiff, as he turned around in circles... Abruptly stopping to look at the placard with my name on it. He looked confused...
This stranger takes out a strange gadget, what is that? It looks like a strange flashlight possibly... It glows red... It looks... Alienated. A buzzing noise emerged from it as he started scanning the place, and then me! But suddenly stops and puts the gizmo in his pocket again.
"... George Hunter?" Is all he said in a raspy voice, coughing a bit. "Y-yes..." I barely managed to let out, too weak to talk much. "... I see. What planet is this?" He suddenly asked me, what kind of a question is that? "W... We are on the... Eh... planet earth..." Said I, slowly moving my bed upwards to take a better look at this man. "Earth... Hah. It reminds me of home..." He muttered, placing a finger on his chin. Home? Am I hallucinating? It must be a sign of death... Of course... It's my death bed I'm lying on. "S-sir...? J-j-just who are you... A... Anyways...?" I huffed, trying to point at him but too weak to keep my arm steady. "... My name... Some call me the Doctor..." He replied plainly. Was he a doctor in this hospital? A very strange one at it too. "V-very nice to... Uff... Meet you... Doctor..." I heaved, trying to breathe as age started to catch on to me. "You're on your death bed... How depressing..." The doctor looked outside, "Tell me, George, did you regret anything in your life?" He suddenly asks, "... N-no... Not really..." I replied. "Ah... Good for you... I already have too many regrets to think of." Said he, starting to pace around again. "Do you perhaps have a wish before passing on...?" I closed my eyes for a deep long moment, "I might... D-doctor... I wish... I wish I could've gone on an adventure... In my youth..." I admit, a bit saddened from my realization.
"... Adventure... Adventure..." The doctor kept muttering. "I'll take you on one." He suddenly spoke, what in god's name is he talking about? It's way too late for that! "After all I've done... I feel like I must help someone... George, we will meet again. You are a kind man with potential I see. I will take you on an adventure. The most unique experience a human would ever have." He said before giving a quick salute in my direction, waltzing out the door... I never knew... My last conversation would be so strange.
