The Great Swan

There once was a swan called The Great Swan. She lived in a beautiful pond with her mate. Together they had three cygnets. They were a happy family.

As they got older the cygnets eventually old enough to set out and create their own families, but every summer they would visit the pond. And they would bring their own families with them. And when their own cygnets were fully grown the cycle continued. One big, happy family.

As time went on The Great Swan's mate became ill, and after a while his time in the pond ended. The family grieved the loss as the mate's soul flew around in the sky above the pond, watching over his home and his big, grieving family.

Time passed, the family grew, and while the pain lessened it never dissapeared. The Great Swan still lived in the pond, and her family still visited every summer. She never stopped missing her mate, but she had their cygnets, their grandcygnets and even great grandcygnets who would visit the pond every summer. One big, happy family.

One year The Great Swan suddenly fell ill, and it quickly got worse. Her family came to visit and help as much as they could, but The Great Swan knew her time was up. She didn't fear death, she was satisfied with her life and eager to see her beloved mate again.

She told her family "I see him waiting for me,up there in the sky above the pond. There's no reason to cry. I'll be with him again soon, and we'll watch over you all from above the pond. Our big, happy family".

One or more of her grandcygnets would visit every day, with their own cygnets in tow, until The Great Swan felt too weak for visitors and requested that only her own cygnets stay with her, as she didn't want to be alone. She slept peacefully as she prepared to fly with her mate once more.

When she finally woke up once more her mate stood before her, beckoning her to fly with him. She stretched her wings, feeling stronger and lighter than she had ever felt in her life, and together they took to the night sky. Together they flew below the moon and stars, above their pond.

Down in the pond their family were grieving the loss of The Great Swan, while also celebrating her long life. And if the pond is still there, then so will the souls of The Great Swan and here mate be, where they still to this day will be watching over their big, happy family.

WHAT IS THE FUCKING POINT

Hi Neil!

I just wanted to share that my ten-year-old kiddo got a whole bunch of Doctor Who stuff for Christmas and their favourite (apart from the 14th Doctor's sonic screwdriver) were this unlikely duo of Daleks. My child put them in front of me and excitedly went "Do you see it?!" and I, the unwell creature that I have become since watching Good Omens six months ago, went "Oh my God... it's Them."

So without further ado, meet the Ineffable Daleks.

Awww...
