Symphony of Silence

After a visit to a planet they thought relatively harmless, the Doctor's companion, Armitage Holmes, is shot by one of the locals. It doesn't seem to be a bad wound, but upon closer inspection, it's far worse than the Doctor had thought. Doing the only thing in his power to keep Holmes alive, the Doctor does something he never thought he would have to do. And it yields devastating results.

NOTE:
This is part of a story I am going to be writing later on, which is why it ends how it does. This story takes place during the Doctor's fourteenth regeneration, which is of my own creation. I will be publishing the full story on this account later on.
