Author's Notes: Inspired by this line in ch. 9 of the The Hound of the Baskervilles: '[The man] might have been the very spirit of that terrible place.'


The moor stretched darkly towards the horizon. Holmes had never considered himself a lover of the countryside. But here – atop this moon-lit tor – he saw the appeal. Above the ruins of primeval man rose the mine tower. Hidden pathways crisscrossed the granite-speckled peat. It was, Holmes thought, a place that could breed both innocence and crime, same as the city.

Beautiful imagery! You evoke such a vivid picture of both the landscape and Holmes's POV in just 60 words. Well-done!

Thank you so much. The 60 words limit is a challenge each and every week. :)
