Thank you so much for all the lovely reviews!
A new enemy
His name is Moriarty
The end is coming
We must leave London
Moriarty will follow...
Be careful, Watson
"Please go home, Watson.
It's not safe to be with me."
"I will not leave you."
The note is a fake
I let him go anyway.
Farewell, my dear friend.
I leave him a note
So much I want to tell him...
but not enough words.
I call out your name
My own voice is all I hear.
Why won't you answer?
Ignoring his cries,
I feel both sadness and guilt.
But I have no choice.
I can see Moran
His gun is aimed at Watson.
If I talk, he'll shoot.
Sitting at my desk
Where are the words that I need?
They are gone, like you.
The roar of the falls
I hear it in my nightmares...
I no longer sleep.
I still hear his voice
He is calling out for me
But I can't answer
His wife had just died.
I could not be there for him
when he needed me.
I sit on our bed
holding on to Mary's dress.
I breathe in her scent.
His eyes are haunted.
Forgive me, Doctor Watson,
but I gave my word.
