Author's Note: Missed the last two weeks due to being on holiday. I will be trying to catch up with them when I have a chance, but for now there's two for this week to sort of make up for it. Both gen - how did that happen?

I knew this story was incomplete without mention of my wife's death, but every time I set my pen down with the intention of writing the words, I found myself stilling, unable to put my sorrow down in black ink. It was only with great fortitude that I was finally able to allude to it in a rather vague manner.

Three years is a long time to plan a revelation on the level of the one I gave Watson that day in his office. He complains of the unnecessary drama I did it with, but some of the ideas I had for it were far more sensational, and called for special effects that I did not have time to prepare.
