Sherlock had been in the middle of making a cup of tea, when the stomach pains that had been bothering him all morning grew worse. Sherlock clutches the counter in tremendous pain and chokes out a yell. In the midst of the haze of agony the thought occurs that his appendix may have burst. Unable to maintain his position Sherlock carefully lowers himself to the floor.
His second thought is that the house is empty. He is alone, something is terribly wrong with him and no one is there to help him. Panicking a bit he fishes for his mobile in his dressing gown pocket with the intent of contacting someone. John is first in his contact list but currently useless being abroad getting shot at. Sherlock moves on to his next contact, Mummy.
He recalls Hudson going out to the supermarket, the local Tesco's half an hour ago, and regrets reminding her of little Hamish's upcoming school cake sale. Another wave of pain shoots through him. Desperate and knowing that his father has taken the twins to the park and won't be back until late, he decides to try her phone. He manages to get her voicemail twice before the pain gets too much.
This is set before -A Meeting- but after the rest of the fics in this series.
Also the chapters will probably be quite short but not be exactly 221 words long. Probably both under and over.
