Canon Story: The Adventure of the Priory School
Title: Drama
Author: scfrankles
Rating: PG
Author's Notes: We have had some dramatic entrances and exits upon our small stage at Baker Street…
…our bearskin hearthrug.
All words are included in the 60 word count. (I’ve gone off at a tangent for this one.)


SITTING ROOM. NIGHT. SEMI-DARKNESS.

Holmes works at an experiment. Occasional explosions.
Watson enters.

Holmes: Could you not sleep?

Watson: (pointedly) No.

Crosses to fireside chair. Trips on bearskin hearthrug.

Watson: Damn!

Noises without. Ruffians enter.

Leader: Die, Mr Holmes!

Watson: (wraps himself in bearskin) Raaaawr!

Ruffians yell. Exit, pursued by a bear.

Big pause.

Holmes: Why the big paws..?

Superb Shakespearean scene, with no pun unexploited.

Very well done:-)

[scfrankles.livejournal.com]

Thank you ^^

I couldn't resist using that stage direction ^^ And I'm thinking of using "no pun unexploited" as the name of my journal... (Unfortunate addiction to puns ^^")

[debriswoman]

Delighted that you have joined in...puns aren't exploited enough:-)

All past sins [literary] forgiven.

[scfrankles.livejournal.com]

I do feel cleansed ^^ Thank you for the absolution ^_^

[mistyzeo.livejournal.com]

Giggling madly.

[scfrankles.livejournal.com]

So pleased - I'm grinning broadly ^_^

My favourite stage direction! Watson in bear skin with big paws, what more could be needed.

[scfrankles.livejournal.com]

It is a stage direction that sticks in the memory ^_^

Er, I almost encroached on your territory with this one. But I suppose Watson in a bearskin doesn't count as an actual bear ^^

[thesmallhobbit.livejournal.com]

Don't apologise - you are very welcome in my territory. The only thing I claim for myself is the tutu-wearing ocelot - which if I'm honest I doubt that anyone would be tempted to include.

Hahaha! Well done ;)

[scfrankles.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much! I'm thrilled you liked it ^^

OhMyGoodness!
That was hilarious.
And NEVER apologise for puns!

[scfrankles.livejournal.com]

Yes, Captain! Thank you so much ^_^

Wow! This is creative and mad -- AND AWESOME! I'm so glad you posted this for us! Watson wrapped in bearskin and roaring cannot help but make for a classic.

Thank you so much for the compliments ^^" Flash fiction is my sort of thing but I did rather surprise myself with this one ^_^
