Coming this Sunday at Sherlock60: The Retired Colourman

[spacemutineer.livejournal.com]

Hello, friends! Welcome back. For this Sunday's canon reading and writing pleasure, we have The Retired Colourman. A jilted husband comes for help finding his stolen securities, if not his stolen wife. He'll lose more than just those by the time this case is over.

There is no Granada TV adaptation to enjoy this week, unfortunately.

Here are your completely optional prompts for RETI. Feel free to use one, both, or neither.

Optional prompt #1: The law and Sherlock Holmes. Or Barker!

Optional prompt #2: "Shadow"

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! Thanks, see you Sunday!
