A Travellling Man

During the lonely years I traveled the world as the explorer Sigerson and other personae, I played a deadly game of hide and seek with Colonel Moran's assassins and led a second life as a secret agent for my brother. I had adventures enough for a lifetime.

I'd have traded them all for a glimpse of home and my Watson.

Well put:-)

Thanks!

From Holmes's later accounts, those years must have been a hell of their own, and your story expresses it all on very small space. He must have looked forward so much to returning home.

I was just thinking that it seemed a little conventional alongside all the really creative entries that others put up. So, thanks, I'm glad you liked!

See, I always think I'm just never conventional enough. ;P But then, whatever you put up here is yours and therefore just perfect in itself.

I had adventures enough for a lifetime.

But yet no one to share them with, no one to impress, no one to rely on in tight spots.

This is lovely. You can feel the soul of Holmes' character.

Oh, thank you! Glad you liked it.

(I was kinda happy with with the way this one came out, myself.)
