Pilgrim
Jack went to New York on business regarding UNIT, telling no one about the side trip he planned. That was his own business.
There wasn't a lot left to see in Albany, Texas. Jack wished he had a working vortex manipulator, to watch a boy growing to manhood in the nineteen-thirties. He wandered, breathing the atmosphere, until arriving at the gravestone he had come to see. In Protestant fashion, it was stark, simple: Jack Harkness, 1912-1941, and below that, For his country.
Jack knelt, eyes closed in remembrance.
Death was cold, but the warmth of love transcended everything.
