Canon Story: The Man with the Twisted Lip
Title: The Consequences of Opium
Author: thesmallhobbit
Rating: PG

The only good thing that has ever come from opium is Berlioz’ Symphanie Fantastique.  But even then, whenever I hear the March to the Scaffold I cannot fail to remember those whose entrapment by the drug has brought about their own deaths in the hellish opium dens on the banks of the Thames.  May God save us from our addictions.

I really like the links made here.

Thank you. And yes, strange that this week's story should have us both thinking along the same lines.

I must admit I'm not sure whether this is Holmes' voice or Watson's. If it's Holmes', the story certainly has an extra poignancy to it.

I normally write Watson's POV, but as you say it works just as well for Holmes.
