sherlock60 | Sherlock60: The Story Continues... with "The Valley of Fear", Part 1

This Sunday, 5th October, we'll be posting our 60 word ficlets for Part 1, Chaps. 1-7 of The Valley of Fear.

Immediately after solving a coded message from the mysterious Porlock, Holmes receives a visit from Inspector MacDonald of Scotland Yard. It seems the threatened danger has already come to pass: Mr. John Douglas of Birlstone Manor House has been "horribly" murdered...

If you haven't tried 60 for 60 before, full information - including our schedule - can be found on our profile. But in essence: you read ACD's story and then you write a 60 word story inspired by it! You don't have to post a story every week - just join in whenever you feel like it.

We also offer a second challenge: pick a character from ACD’s story and write a clerihew about them. You can choose to write a 60 and a clerihew, or you can do one or the other. (There's further information about posting on our profile.) Or you can just take part in the weekly discussion. All options are absolutely fine!

Hope to see you on Sunday ^^
