In Case of Emergency

By Meyari McFarland

Andy opened his eyes.

Two years after the end of the world and he still looked for Torres by his side. Silly of him. Torres was gone and all Andy had left was the morning broadcast to keep him going. It was all that got him to haul himself into his wheelchair and head down to the station.

Puddles wouldn't stop him. The growing grass and moss might, if Spike's plans for a better wheelchair didn't work out.

Two years. Andy's heart ached for everything he'd lost, for Torres gone all this time. But life went on and so did Andy, reaching out to the other survivors in the only way he could.

Over the radio.

The first faint hints of dawn had turned the ceiling grey. No hints of gold yet. Good. There was time to get to the radio station before his broadcast. Wasn't so cold in the room that his breath fogged into clouds of ice crystals. Better than it had been for a while. Now things were heating up instead of cooling off. Pretty soon ice might be a figment of the imagination. Months and months of no sunshine, just thick clouds and never-ending gloom, turned those hints of grey into the most beautiful thing he'd ever seen.

Other than Torres' smile.

He reached out one hand to the other side of the bed, caressing the divot where Torres head used to rest. Where it should have rested. Two years later and he still did this. Stupid of him. But the divot from reaching for Torres' hair, his cheek, the gentle warmth of his breath on the pillow wasn't going to go away.

Andy sighed and pushed the covers back. His wheelchair
