A/N: For the P100 challenge 368: It's the End of the World as We Know It and for my Primeval Bingo Card (round 3) prompt: Chosen One(s)


Matt barely managed to stay expressionless when his name was called out by the elders. All his hard work had paid... then he realised what it meant.

For the first time what his father had spoken about was more than a possibility. He was one of the chosen few who would go back in time and stop the Great Disaster.

What if he failed? What if he missed the moment to save the world? How could he live knowing it was his fault?

And more than that... how would he feel if he succeeded and all his friends never were?

Poor Matt! He does have an angsty time of it. Nice one. :)

And he never made an expression again *g*

Hee, he forgot how to ;)

That's a hell of a conundrum.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

*nods* Matt loses whatever he decides.

Thanks for reading.

Oh, poor Matt. Of course, he'll do what he must but if he succeeds he loses and if he doesn't succeed... Lovely use of the prompt.

Thanks. I was mean to poor Matt, he just can't win.

Thanks for reading.

Poor Matt. So much pressure.

*hugs Matt* It is a lot of pressure on his young shoulders.

Thanks for reading.
