Title: Unable to escape
Author: m_findlow
Characters: Jack
Rating: PG
Challenge: 370 - Old age
Notes: Some things you can't escape

It wasn't vanity that made him move closer to the mirror. Something had caught his eye. Could it be? Maybe it was just a trick of the light. Closer inspection confirmed it. It was a grey hair.

Jack got so excited he almost pulled it out. If he did though, no one would believe him. Maybe his immortality was wearing off. He couldn't wait to tell Ianto.

For weeks afterwards, he checked religiously for more, but they never appeared. Perhaps he'd been wrong. Then he'd died again and he knew for certain.

Old age was not part of his destiny.
