This Sunday for 60 for 60: The Adventure of the Cardboard Box

[spacemutineer.livejournal.com]

Thanks for checking out 60 for 60! Up next for this Sunday and the week ahead, it's The Adventure of the Cardboard Box. A woman receives a plain-looking package in the post with some very seriously disturbing contents inside. Who sent it and why? Inspector Lestrade enlists Holmes and Watson to help untangle the threads (some literal) of this unusual and gruesome case. Done reading and need some more inspiration? The View Halloa is always handy.

Haven't joined us for 60 for 60 before? We'd love to have you jump in too! Everyone is welcome. You can learn more here (including the schedule), but the basics are easy: read the story, then write a 60 word ficlet inspired by it. That's it! It's fun, it's quick and you'll love reading both the wonderful classic canon and the terrific variety of fic we all come up with. Come have fun with us! See you Sunday!

Remix on the words of ACD - the other Holmes brother.


Gracefully whittled to willow elegance by starvation and cocaine, there was a suggestion of bohemianism in the figure. Above this, a face so masterful in its brow, so alert in its steel-grey eyes, so firm in its lips, and so subtle in its play of expression, that at every glance one remembered both the beautiful body and the dominant mind.
