Fics like sympathy is a knife

"No, no, you don't understand." David says, his voice trembling. "River's dead." James's body goes cold. "What?" "I shot him. I didn't realise it was him." Even old and senile, and apparently firmly in the early stages of dementia, David Cartwright could be trusted to be one hell of a shot. But it's possible he's simply confused. River couldn't be dead. James would feel it otherwise. Wouldn't he? His body would ache and he wouldn't understand why, only to find out the news and everything would piece together. The overwhelming sensation of his heart being ripped out of his chest would finally make sense. But James didn't feel like that. His heart was firmly in his chest and not buried with River bloody Cartwright. So he couldn't be dead. James refuses to believe it.
