Torchwood drabble: It's the End of the World as We Know It | PG

Title: It's the End of the World as We Know It
Author: [livejournal.com profile] rustydog
Characters: none
Rating: PG
Spoilers: Children of Earth Day 1
Notes: Written for [livejournal.com profile] tw100 challenge 136, Fire and Ice. Another dark one, I'm sorry!

When the world as we know it ends, the ground cracks open, exposing the bones it has sheltered for so long; coffins surface and float downriver: not even the dead are undisturbed.

*

These souls died in the service of Torchwood, or the Rift made them Torchwood's problem. Their eternal reward was a body bag, a steel drawer, and subzero. Not exactly serene, but it was quiet.

...Until fire blew apart their hundreds of chilly tombs, consumed some and left the others exposed to moisture and creatures of decay. When the world ends, even the dead may not rest in peace.
