“You’re toast!” Wash roared menacingly. He crashed the miniature tyrannosaurus rex into a stegosaurus, his brow furrowed in concentration. There was a solid ‘thunk’ as the dinosaurs collided, followed by a groan as the pilot feigned the stegosaurus’ death.

River crept into the room behind Wash, slipping silently into the shadows. The corner of her mouth twitched up into a smile as Wash continued his entertaining display.

There was a sudden flash and River jumped back, startled. Where Wash had been, a shimmering ghost of him appeared.

“Before long, I’ll be toast, too,” he told her.

River nodded sadly. “Soon.”
