Fic: Fear in A Handful of Dust (2/2)
Jul. 18th, 2008 10:29 amTitle: Fear in a Handful of Dust (2/2)
Rating: G
Characters: Fourth Doctor, Romana II
Genre: Gen, drama
Spoilers: none.
Summary: The Earth is in danger, and the cause seems to be hiding in a traveling carnival in 1930s Nebraska. The Doctor and Romana investigate.
Disclaimer: I don't own Doctor Who, K-9, or the TARDIS. (I do, however, have a 12-foot scarf, courtesy of my mother-in-law.)
Author's notes:
This is one of my old stories. Written in 1991, posted to Usenet in 1994, and published in the zine Myth Makers in 1999. I wrote it because I was dissatisfied with the way the BBC handled American characters and settings.
The Doctor's quote near the end of this chapter is from Hamlet, Act II, Scene II.
The Doctor slipped into the main tent. Sunlight filtered through the canvas roof, bathing the interior in a muted grey light. The canvas had a filtering effect on noise too, translating the outside din into a formless sound like the rush of wind or water.
