Hello John, The fall didn't hurt as much as I thought it would.

Instant death and surprisingly, I've arrived in Heaven.

It's as dull as I'd thought it would be.

I need something to do!

All I have are puffy clouds and righteous, faith abiding civilians.

The Gates were wrong, I'm in Hell.

Do you think God would allow me to visit Purgatory, John?

I asked, he said no.

Hell is out of the question too.

Celestial beings can be so unreasonable sometimes.

I met Galileo today.

He couldn't believe I knew so little about the solar system.

Offered to teach me, should I accept?

My lessons start tomorrow

It's nice to see you out and about again John.

Locking yourself indoors won't help.

I wish we could go on one last case together.

You kept my violin of all things and I see you've been taking lessons.

Watch the strings and keep your neck raised.

I'm sure you'll be brilliant.

I saw father yesterday.

He was shocked to see me here so early.

That made two of us.

I'm bored.

It's moments like this I wish I had your gun.

Apparently, God doesn't permit bullet holes in walls.

Do you think I could find a way to sneak into Hell?

So, God can see all and I'm in trouble or that last message.

That one as well

When were you going to tell me Anderson passed on?

He arrived here yesterday and won't leave me alone.

I've been made an angel John.

I know you'd be jealous if you could see me in my halo.

You'd looked good in a halo.

I noticed the new wrinkles.

You've gotten older.

Hard to believe so much time has passed.

They say Absence makes the heart grow fonder.

They were right.

i miss you

Miss Hudson arrived yesterday.

The old girl slapped me before hugging me.

People are so contradicting.

But it's nice to see a familiar face.

It would be nice to see you too.

I miss you John.

I see you've managed to keep a relationship.

I like this Mary woman. Keep her around.

An angel named Gabriel taught me how to fly yesterday.

It was actually quite interesting.

I wonder how many experiments I could do on my wings before God stops me

The answer is 3.

I bet you'd look wonderful in wings but I'd rather not see them for a long time.

I've come to realize how precious sentiment is in this white, fluffy, hell.

I wish you were here but at the same time I don't

I found Redbeard today.

The old dog hasn't left my side since.

I've forgotten how much I missed him. Don't tell anyone.

I'm so sorry John. Mary says Hello.

You've gotten quite good at the violin John.

But the melancholy tunes have to end eventually.

I heard Lestrade finally retired.

I'm relieved he's taken a rest.

I was afraid the man would work himself to death.

Spoke too soon I suppose.

He says Hi.

When should I tell him they don't have beer or cigarettes here?

He's not taking the news very well.

I can't believe I didn't notice it until now.

For a genius I'm so thick.

I always thought it was odd you walked into the closet for no particular reason.

But I see it now.

My coat is still in there.

Don't cry John.

I'm not worth the tears.

You would probably have said how brilliant I was right there.

Wouldn't you?

I miss you

Mycroft arrived this morning.

Apparently, death in your sleep is painless.

I wouldn't know but he seems content with it.

I supposed some just know when it's their time to go.

The years have taken their toll on you my friend.

You'll be home soon.

I'll leave the tea on for you.

Who would have thought you'd outlive us all John Watson.

It's a blessing and a curse, don't you think?

You don't have to fight anymore John.

You won the war.

Rest.

It's nice to see your passing was easy.

I'd hate to see you in pain.

I'll be waiting at the gates for you

Come along john.

It's time to come home.

I hope you enjoyed reading
Cheers!
