"Think you've seen it all? Think again. Outside those doors, we might see anything. We could find new worlds, terrifying monsters, impossible things. And if you come with me... nothing will ever be the same again!” - 10th Doctor (David Tennant)
The time was 3:24 p.m. on Friday, June 26, 2020.
The place was John Jay High School in Hopewell Jct, NY.
There, in a parking lot, Sean Robert Adams, decked out in a navy cap and gown, completed something he's waited patiently for.
School's out, completely.
(Or, at least until when he starts college in the fall)
This wasn't the way any of us wrote it up. No group pictures after it was over. Just drive in, please stay in your cars, wear your mask, and tune your radio.
After the speeches, you can drive up for the big moment.
Then? Drive away.
It's over.
Thirteen years of memories flood. Of the little boy who walked in and the man who walked out. Of the good nights and bad. Of the school plays and shows and gatherings. Of laughter and tears.
It's his day and I hope it was as good as it can be.
But these years marched by in a flash like a timelord manning a TARDIS.
"People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint, it's more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey stuff." - 10th Doctor (David Tennant)
"Now my Doctor, I've seen whole armies turn and run away. And he'd just swagger off back to his TARDIS and open the doors with a snap of his fingers. The Doctor in the TARDIS. Next stop, everywhere." -- River Song
