My apologies for my tardiness, I've been on holidays, and then very distracted by end of year celebrations.


From Spockologist:
1. Washed up

Two figures were sprawled on the beach, the sun just rising over the grassy slopes ahead, and the faint marks on the sand behind them betraying their point of arrival.

"Holmes?" one of the men asked wearily, his head not raising from its position on the beach shores.

"Yes, Watson?" The other asked in return, his voice muffled by the sand.

The first man raised his head from the sand and turned a tired glare on his companion. "Next time you are asked to investigate murders on a steam ship, turn it down."

A soft chuckle came from the other man's general direction. "My dear Watson, I could not agree with you more."
