"Goodbye, John"

My heart stopped.

Sherlock jumped.

His black, long coat flapping around him, he fell. Down, down, down.

Then with a sickening crack, he hit the pavement. No…

Sherlock can't be dead… No…

I clumsily made my way over to where his body hit the pavement, a cyclist hit me, I fell.

I stared at the body, people were grouping around him. No… Please, no. Sherlock, please, no…

I slowly got up and stumbled over to his body.

"I'm a doctor" I said unconsciously as I walked through the crowd. I knelt down beside him and felt for his pulse.

None… There was no pulse…

People started pulling me away. I let them… Sherlock was gone, dead.

I felt my eyes prickle with tears, I fought them back.

His last words echoed through my head, "Goodbye, John. Goodbye, John…"

He is dead…. Isn't he…

Sherlock Holmes is dead.
