It's been a year since Sherlock has left me. Twelve miserable months and non-stop nightmares and it weren't about Afghanistan. I would lay there, consumed by the darkness around me. It happened again; that god for shaken nightmare, that's been haunting me since the day of Sherlock's death. The dream would be me standing in the street, with my phone held against my ear. My heart would beat fast and my vision locked on Sherlock, standing in the roof at St Barts, with his phone held against his face. I could hear him say "this is my note" and I wondered what that meant. Why was he leaving a note? Why to me? Why now? And while I was in track of thought he would through me off just like he always would and say "goodbye John" once that is finish it goes blank and my head starts to spin, the phrase "goodbye" repeated over and over again inside my head and the next image I see is, the once grey floor, now painted in the crimson red that was Sherlock's blood. And his body lying with no sense of life and no movement, meanwhile a deafening ring would be heard. I would desperately grab for my best friend's wrist and I would swear every time I had that dream, that I felt a pulse. However my vision would go as black as a starless night sky and the ringing would stop. After a few moments I could hear one phrase spoken by Sherlock and it would be said in the settle, relaxed way he did and It would be. "John". That's when I wake up and I come back to reality. The fact that my best friend is dead hasn't sunk in yet- especially when you where in love with them- but I tried to start off fresh. I fell in love with Sherlock probably when we were following Irene Adler, the jealousy was immense. I guess the moment I actually realized that I loved Sherlock was when he died. However I knew that I had to carry on living, even though I did have some thoughts of committing suicide to join him, but I knew that when I did join him he wouldn't like it and be cross with me. So I carried on living.
Now I'm living by myself, not in the flat, but I got a low rent apartment- thanks to Mycroft – I couldn't believe it when he showed sorrow for me and used his power to lower the price. The flat was still in London, and it was only 30 minuets close to 221b Baker Street. Even though I can not bring myself to go to that place, I still stayed in touch with Mrs. Hudson and Lestrad.
It was the usual morning; woke up with a cold sweat and a thundering heart beat. Once I relaxed I got up and made some tea. But when I found out I had no milk, I knew I had to go out, I was hoping to have another quiet day in – oh well. Once dress I went up to my local corner shop and returned to the flat. But when I went to step on my front door step, there was a sealed envelope.
It was brown and was sealed in a crimson red wax seal. I pick it up and then had a strange feeling as if this has happened before. Then It suddenly hit me. It happened a couple of day before that day. I saw an envelop exactly like this one on the door step if our home at 221b Baker Street. I rushed in door's, dumping the milk on the floor, and started to open the letter.
Once open I quickly pulled the white paper out of the envelop and started reading.
Dear John,
Hello. Guess who? You may have realized that you've seen an
Envelop just like this one three months ago, and be thinking that
It's Moriaty. Well it's not. Instead you've got it completely wrong
And it's common among ordinary people. Actually it's Mycroft and
Don't worry you should have noticed that the seal is completely
Different to the seal from before. What I wanted to say will not seem
Normal nor will it make any sense. But you should go to this address
At 10 am tomorrow and then it will make sense.
