“Fear me – I’ve killed hundreds of Time Lords.”
It almost makes you laugh – instead you feel that sharpness deep in your chest and it constricts your throat and the back of your eyes burn – and you snarl:
“Fear me – I’ve killed all of them.”
And you don’t see how House shudders and shakes with a distant tingle of fear and it’s the only warning he’ll get. But his pride will make him ignore that fear – and it will be his downfall in the end.
And when everything is said and done and Sexy has said her first hello ((I just wanted to say, “Hello. Hello, my Doctor”)) and you’ve finished setting up the firewalls and you’ve closed your eyes – all you can remember is the screaming and the crying and please help us, please save us and you’re left alone with your nightmares and your self-loathing.
“Fear me – I’ve killed hundreds of Time Lords.”
It almost makes you laugh – instead you feel that sharpness deep in your chest and it constricts your throat and the back of your eyeballs burn – and you sneer and snarl:
“Fear me – I’ve killed all of them.”
