“Matt?” Becker wrapped his arms around Matt when his husband continued to stare at the anomaly.

“I failed.” Matt shook his head. “I had one chance to save the world and...”

“I haven't given up. Lester hasn't.”

“It will happen slowly. Crops fail as weather patterns change, but its the future predators which are the death-knell for civilisation. The governments can't cope and the world descends into savagery. Survival of the fittest.”

“We'll find a way to stop it.” Becker promised, even if he had no idea how they would.

Burton's voice came from behind them. “I know how to.”

Oh, nice one!
Here's hoping Burton isn't going to make things worse :D

Very good.

There's still hope, and at least someone has a plan! And Matt and Becker can add their help too

Poor Matt, but at least he has Becker to comfort him.

*Eyes Burton warily* I still don't trust him.

Is Burton finally going to come good? Hope so!

Ooh, I say! What a drabble! Can Burton really figure it out? How exciting.

[cordeliadelayne]

I hope Burton has a good plan!

Come on, Matt, you can't allow yourself to despair. Nice incorporation of the prompt.

Is this Burton's redemption riding to the rescue?

Yay, they already have a plan! Go, boys! *crosses fingers*
