The Empty House: Bitterness

Canon Story: The Empty House
Rating: Gen
Summary: Holmes has asked for forgiveness before today.

“Then you use me and yet do not trust me!”
My words echoed off the exterior of a Neolithic hut on a Devonshire moor to a quiet Kensington study.
“I am not partner, Holmes. I am pawn!”
He opened his mouth. I raised my hand.
“You will do it again. It is my lot to forgive and yours to trespass.”

Sherlock60: The Story Continues... with "The Norwood Builder"

[scfrankles.livejournal.com]

This Sunday, 8th January, we'll be posting our 60 word ficlets for The Norwood Builder.

Holmes and Watson are back together at Baker Street now, and as the story begins Holmes is bemoaning the lack of interesting crime in London. Moments later, 'the unhappy John Hector McFarlane' makes his dramatic entrance...

If you haven't tried 60 for 60 before, full information - including our schedule - can be found on our profile. But in essence: you read ACD's story and then you write a 60 word story inspired by it! You don't have to post a story every week - just join in whenever you feel like it.

Each Sunday we will also have our weekly discussion post, where we discuss a topic inspired by the canon story. And there’s Mrs. Hudson's Poetry Page too - any poems written about this week’s story can be left as a comment on her post. There's no Rachel this week, but instead there will be a new poetic form to try: line messaging.

You can choose one activity, or have a go at everything. Or just come along and read the 60s! (And have a chat in the comments.) All options are absolutely fine.

Hope to see you on Sunday. But don’t worry if you can’t join us then - we stay open for posting and commenting all week!
