A/N: …look up at our old rooms—the starting-point of so many of your little fairy-tales… (NB There are two versions of this sentence—the other has “our little adventures…”)





Watson discovered Holmes disguised as a rose, but the Beast caught him.

“Please,” said Watson. “His absence has left a void in my life.”

The Beast grinned. “Then in exchange, I want the first thing you see when you return home.”



Watson woke with a start to find Mary smiling down at him sadly.

“Just a nightmare, John,” she whispered.
A 60 word story inspired by Conan Doyle's The Empty House. Written for Sherlock60 on LJ.
