Half Life

Author: Aviv_b
Title: Half Life
Written for [info]tw100, Open challenge - Equinox
Rating: G
Characters: Owen
Disclaimer: Not mine; Aunty B's and RTD's
Summary: 
 After Jack brings him back from death, Owen is even stranger than he was before.

A/N:  This is an Open Challenge meaning you can use any prompt from the past for a story - Equinox was a prompt from 2007.


He exists halfway between the living and the dead.  A zombie.

 

He can work but can’t sleep. Or eat, or shag or even take a piss. But if you play Thriller on Jack’s phonograph, he’ll moonwalk around the Hub, steps light as air.

 

His teammates don’t seem to notice. Maybe he was already dead when he joined. Maybe he died quietly when Diane left through the rift. Maybe they’re half dead themselves.

 

Only the Weevils feel the change in him. Half in awe, half in fear, they bow to the creature that is halfway between the light and the dark.
