Canon Story: The Three Garridebs
Title: Would Any Garrideb Please Contact..?
Author: [livejournal.com profile] scfrankles
Rating: PG
Author's Notes: He had a cadaverous face, with… dull dead skin… “My doctor lectures me about never going out…” Behind his central table was a large cupboard of fossil bones. Above was a line of plaster skulls... “I had a brother, but he is dead, and female relatives are disqualified.” “I’ll call to-morrow, Mr. Nathan, and see you off to Birmingham.” He was last heard of at a nursing-home in Brixton. A zombie AU.


A ‘bite’ from a zombie’s skull led to (the late) Ezekiel Garrideb having to reinvent himself as Nathan, a long lost brother. But the decomposition progressed and while in Birmingham, Ezekiel’s frontal lobes disintegrated.

“I’ll advertise for his relatives,” his doctor sadly told the nursing home.

It was just unfortunate the transplant would have to come from a female brain.

Friggin' Victorian coverture laws - not even the undead are safe.

I'm now picturing a line of rotting women in tattered white dresses staggering along in the suffragists' marches. "Voooootes... Vooootessss."

Good Lord! I was feeling sorry for the guy. If his frontal lobe disintegrated, that does put him in a spot. Maybe he didn't feel it.

Moral of the story - do not collect zombie skulls.

Oh Lord! What if his 'collection' was mostly skulls? Surely Watson would've mentioned it. Or maybe not...[ominous music plays]

An entirely logical and reasonable conclusion:-p
ACD missed a trick here...

What was he thinking?

In one of my many 3GAR-inspired stories, one of the skulls Watson inspects in Nathan's rooms is labeled "Piltdown" - a throwaway reference to the hoax ACD helped perpetuate.
