Why this must be read:
This is one of those stories that sits in your head. You think of it at random moments, and though maybe nothing happened in it, it's always a sort of touch point for you and the character. It feels like a series of dreams - languid images fading in and out. This is Jack in season 6, and the deserts he's known. Christine has created an element of his back-history that's non-canonical, but it doesn't work against canon, or characterization, so it's easy to accept. This is Jack telling stories, about things that pass and things that linger, change and memories.

"This is a story that was once written in sand."

"These are stories I don't write down."
