<strong>Fish</strong> <strong>Fingers</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Custard</strong> <strong>Issue</strong> 1<br />
A rogue trading ship out of Hesperus fired their weapons desperately into<br />
something their scanners told them couldn’t exist, <strong>and</strong> the Doctor heard their<br />
screams as the cold, cleansing white light fell over them.<br />
Across the universe, people died <strong>and</strong> were forgotten in the same breath.<br />
Everything they had ever done, everyone they had ever loved simply... skipped a<br />
beat, <strong>and</strong> then continued.<br />
As if nothing had ever happened.<br />
‘Doctor?’<br />
He blinked, the sounds of the TARDIS suddenly rushing back in through the<br />
cracks in his concentration. He scrubbed a h<strong>and</strong> through his hair <strong>and</strong> whirled to<br />
face Amy, mouth twisted in irritation.<br />
‘I thought I said-‘<br />
He stopped when he saw the look on her face.<br />
‘Amy...’ he said softly, in the tones of someone trying to prevent a small animal<br />
from bolting, ‘don’t let it get to you. It’s just... it’s an illusion, a trick of where we<br />
are. Paused light, that’s nothing, that’s just science, science isn’t scary, it’s just...<br />
science.’<br />
She didn’t resist as he slipped his arms around her slim shoulders <strong>and</strong> fixed her<br />
widened eyes with his own. He pushed all thought of icy, erasing white light from<br />
his head <strong>and</strong> forced a reassuring smile.<br />
‘It’s fine, Amy. Just don’t look.’<br />
Behind them, the stars continued to go out.
