A/N: 12th response to Hades' awesome challenge
Prompt from silvermouse - Holmes ends up in a coma.
POV of Dr Watson.
Coma
No wit-
No word-
No appreciation of the absurd-
No concentrated frown-
No steepled fingers-
No three pipe problem-
No smoke trail lingers-
No devastating sarcasm-
No caustic riposte-
No verbal fencing match-
No villains crossed-
No hawk-like gaze-
No assorted papers scattered-
No table top experiments-
No test tubes shattered-
No meticulous observations-
No studied clues-
No perfect disguises-
No unlooked-for honours to refuse-
No games afoot-
No clients and no cases-
No train timetables studied-
No sudden trips to far off places-
No urgent summons-
No patience wearing thin-
No cosy fireside chats-
No violin-
No comfortable companionship-
No black-masked raids-
No fog be-shrouded encounters on the moor-
No thrilling escapades-
No telegram-
No note-
No plea to come at once-
~0~
No telling what the next few days will bring-
No response.
