Yep. I was bored one night and decided to do 100 sentences just for the heck of it. Prompt table credit goes to KCS and Watson_Woes. Feel free to use any of the sentences if they inspire you. Just let me know cause I'll want to read it :D
[1] Murder
It never occurred to him that his friend was capable of taking another life until his own had been threatened to be snuffed out by the murderer who had, but moments ago, stood over them both with the clear intent on adding their cold bodies to the Thames.
[2] Nightmare
He would often find his friend awake in the dead hour of the night, curled up in the armchair with his ratty dressing gown wrapped tightly around his slim body and smoking a cold pipe all the while wearing the haunted look of a man who has recently done battle with his own overactive imagination.
[3] Grief
It would be two and half years into his self-exile when the guilt of what he had done to his friend at the falls returned with the stabbing pain of regret and remorse upon reading the obituary of the late Missus Watson in an old issue of the Times; and he hoped beyond all reason that the grief of his friend's latest loss would not drive him again to take that fatal step like it almost had the last time for he was certain this time he could not live with himself if his friend did.
[4] Late Nights
Some late nights his friend would practice the violin at three in the morning and he would threaten to break the dang thing if he didn't stop, other nights he could smell his friend busily working on an experiment and he would purposely ruin it so he wouldn't end up gagging in his sleep, and then there were those late nights that he found himself pub hopping with his eccentric friend in search of information instead of sleeping like any other normal person would at such an hour and thus years later and looking back he would find that he never regretted any of those sleepless late nights.
[5] Breathe
He found it harder and harder to draw in air with each passing moment and although his mind demanded that he scream for help in the hope that someone would be able to hear him through the layers of dirt and wood, he knew that in doing so would deprive of him one more breath and that it would be one breath too late for his Boswell to save him.
[6] Shoot
He often wondered why his friend bothered to practice his aim indoors by shooting the Queen's initials into the wall when he would purposely leave behind the revolver whenever he went out on a case and therefore one day he had asked and his friend had answered, "Because I have you to do the shooting for me, old chap."
[7] Fire
He had always known that his Boswell was a man of action, so when he watched as his friend leapt into the burning building to seek out and rescue the source of the child-like cries, he was all the more proud to be proven right in his assumptions about the man.
[8] Missing
Out of all who lived at 221B Baker Street to ever have gone missing for any abnormal length of time, neither men would have guessed that it would have been their landlady, Missus Hudson, for who would want to harm such a tolerating and kind old woman?
[9] Darkness
It wasn't the dark t hat he was afraid of, after all he often worked in the dark, but rather it was the pitch blackness that which the very room they found themselves in consisted of that frightened him more, for it reminded him of what it was like to be blind and that, in itself, is a frightening thought.
[10] Light
"Sherlock! Are you alright, brother?" asked his elder brother from somewhere above him after he had taken a nasty tumble down an unused and forgotten well; and ignoring the pain in the side of his head and arm, he looked upward in search of the lantern he knew Mycroft was holding to shine light down into the hole and yet he could see nothing even though he should.
[11] Choke
The first thought that crossed his mind as Moran choked the life out of him was that he was going to lose Watson a second time and this time also there was nothing he could really do to spare his friend of the guilt and grief he surely would feel with his murder once more.
[12] Helpless
When it came to chasing and apprehending criminals, he knew what to do, but when it came to the charming feminine wiles of Irene Adler, he was completely and utterly helpless and she knew and delighted in it.
[13] Negotiate
There was a reason why he left the handling of the police and the reporters to Watson, his friend had an aptitude for talking their way out of any uncomfortable situation they may have found themselves in through some action or another involving a case or he might have inadvertently placed themselves in to with his own impatient and tactless wit.
[14] Blind
"It could be temporary or it could be permanent only time will tell, but at least the blow to his temple had not killed him instead," the heavier set boy listened to the family doctor from behind the closed study doors before glancing worriedly back at his younger sibling who sat quietly on an ottoman with his arm in a sling and a wrap around his head as he stared blankly ahead and at nothing.
[15] Haunt
He did not believe in ghosts or ghouls or phantoms of the night and often went out of his way to prove that such apparitions were quite down to earth and that it was only man who would dare haunt castle walls and wallpapered homes, however, he will admit that sometimes seeing is believing when it comes to things he cannot explain.
[16] Embrace
A warm embrace was all he could do to comfort the shocked and sputtering Missus Hudson upon seeing his ghost rise from the grave and haunt her home after three years of being dead and he found that it warmed his cold heart that his landlady actually did care about and miss him.
[17] Silent
"You have the grand gift of silence, Watson, it makes you an invaluable companion," he would often say to his friend, but this one time he did not wish for his friend to be silent, he wanted nothing more than to hear him utter a single word or a quip, anything even rather than continue to lay in his arms as cold and quiet, like the cold and quiet drizzle of the rain that now washed away the crimson stain from his friend's chest.
[18] Work
Very few realize exactly how much work one can get done from the comfort and safety of an armchair, especially when you have a younger sibling who is quite eager to do most of the tedious and laborious part of said work for you.
[19] Rescue
It was amusing to watch his eccentric friend unsuccessfully try and extradite himself from the presence of several of the young ladies attending the Grand Ball of the Archduke of Austria, so when he came over to him with a false summons as an excuse and an offer to tell tales of their adventures to the ladies, the detective eagerly accepted the rescue and quickly disappeared.
[20] Die
As he climbed the cliff side that was Reichenbach Falls, he swore he could have heard Moriarty cry out his name in anger and hatred, and so he dared to look back and down at the raging river below and much to his horror and dread, the very man who had set out to kill him had survived his fall and was currently glaring back up at him from the safety of a washed up tree trunk, and thus he knew that Sherlock Holmes had to die or else his friends and his brother would suffer in his place.
You know, #20 is quite possible. No body was found and Holmes did say he "swore" he heard Moriarty scream his name. :D Anywho, I've probably done enough run on sentences to give you grammar geeks a headache. Lol. Next twenty are coming soon, my brain needs a rest now. This challenge is not as easy at it looks lol.
