Stairway to Heaven (comic story): Difference between revisions

'''''Stairway to Heaven''''' was a [[Seventh Doctor]] comic published in ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]''.

Hoping for the [[Chardaz Museum of Modern Art]], the [[Seventh Doctor]] finds himself within a [[dome]]d [[park]]-like area. Examining his [[map]], he comes upon a large [[egg]], from which hatches [[Creature (Stairway to Heaven)|a small marsupial-like creature]]. Greeting it, he falls back in surprise when it uses its fiery breath to set fire to his map. Trying to get directions, the Doctor follows it, watching as it ages rapidly and uses its breath to bake a lump of [[mud]] into a [[brick]]. It carries the brick to a [[staircase]] — its steps constructed of such bricks — which spirals up to the [[roof]] of the dome. The staircase is also decorated with [[bone]]s, which the Doctor discovers are from [[skeleton]]s of [[Species (Stairway to Heaven)|the creature's own kind]], all of which appear to have died from a high fall. Crying "heavenwards", the creature scampers up the staircase, the Doctor fearing that [[The Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]] ''has'' arrived where he intended as he chases after it.
