DAY 86

STORY #86

Doctor Who:

Ala Carte

“That’s one of the most alien, aliens, that I’ve ever encountered.” The Doctor observed calmly. Donna raised an eyebrow and stared down at the red blob at her feet, with one purple eye stalk, and fourteen legs that looked like goldfish tails. “What’ is that, Doctor?”

The Doctor shrugged, “Erm--I..” The thing interrupted him. “I am the midnight soul, the diamond moon, a soldier in the wilderness of life…I am also your complementary appetizer.” He waved a fin. “Would you like a sample?” Donna blanched and the Doctor said, “Ummm--We’ll just stick with the bread and water, thanks”.
