Review:
The Torchwood crew follow massive energy readings to an abandoned warehouse, where they find two dead bodies (one missing a head). Then one of the dead bodies wakes up.

There are a lot of things to like about this fic (especially the 'rescue' by Mac), but my favorite part is the whole issue of immortality. Jack is the only immortal he knows (aside from the Doctor, but that's a whole other mess) and his joy in finding others like him is so bittersweet, especially when he realized that he isn't really like them after all.

Sweet and a little sad, with spot-on characterizations, and a thoughtful, interesting premise. A lovely story.
