10 Things The Professor Hide Away

1. Professor James Moriarty does not care for, no, despises, no, loathes, modern literature that has a clean, one sided hero and does not even bother to show the innermost feelings of the antagonist.

2. Surprisingly enough, he finds it difficult to find a pub in which he feels content. He thought he had the perfect location at a one time small establishment known as Simpson's until his esteemed….acquaintance began frequenting it.

3. He first glimpsed this…acquaintance visiting a most unlikely location, a children's clothing store to be exact. His presence became even more unlikely when the professor realized he was not there to procure any items of clothing, but rather to shut down the owners underground jewelry….exploits. A most unfortunate thing, for he had been looking forward into investing in such a business venture.

4. He thoroughly enjoys a well-made ham, and would go to almost any lengths to partake of one.

5. He could occasionally go to far when it came to drawing the line, but he saw no reason to be troubled by this. One should have what they need to live comfortably, it was mans own private prerogative to make life enjoyable, was it not?

6. Though he was sure the mediocre detective was quite blind to it, the bird like man received far too much attention from members of the opposite sex. Honestly, he could not understand the attraction. Did women no longer desire riches and the luxury of fine things?

7. He was not an all-together miserable example of the human race. In fact, during his boyhood he had been quite popular with most people. Many would indeed refer to him a quite a charming individual. It was a shame those persons were not more entertaining.

8. At the age of 17 while sitting in a train station, he noticed a woman had left her purse in the seat next to him. After tracking the frantic woman down to return her bag he was accused to stealing the item in question. It was then only a logical conclusion that no good deed goes unpunished.

9. It was during the Christmas holiday of his 19th year that he witnessed single fat men walk past starving beggars attempting to feed their starving family. It was not an obvious change in the man, but something had definitely altered in the mind of young James.

10. His motto was this; one should not bother with the good of mankind when all good is snuffed out by the bad. Thus he does what he pleases, keeping one-step ahead of all those wishing to change his mind.

Well, I hope you like this and don't think its too out of character. I wanted to stay away from the evil math professor because its too dark for this story. I also wanted to stay away from all the similarities and mutual respect motifs because they're not really original enough and this story allows me to take many liberties. Also, I really like this story because I can sorta add stuff as I want and it doesn't leave a plot hanging or any such nonsense. Comment though if you would like more, i.e. another chapter for a character already explored or a character not yet mentioned. Thanks!
