“Watson, what is this?”

“You know it’s the Strand, Holmes.”

“This terrible, derivative story – ‘Mazarin Stone’ – this is not one of yours, is it?”

“You know it isn’t. You know I was in hospital when it was due. Conan Doyle wrote it.”

Holmes considered, recalling that fearful time, and reaching for Watson, whispered into his ear, “You’re forgiven, my love.”

Heh. This story certainly is turning up some inspired meta fiction.

Thanks! Mazarin Stone is really pretty awful and obviously ACD just phoned this one in. But, they all can't be winners, can they?

Thanks! I like to think about them living together in happy retirement so it was a pleasure to write this. But paring it down to only 60 words was HARD. I think I deleted at least twice that many words to get it down to it's essence. I'm looking forward to tackling next week's challenge!

Thanks! IMO, ACD really phoned it in that month. But then I look at some of my early fic and think who am I to judge? lol

The 60 word limit is the best part of the challenge to me. I love the (doable) level of difficulty in getting across an idea or a feeling in such a tight space. You really have to think carefully about phrasing and word selection. Once you get a few 60s under your belt, it will be easier, I think.

So glad you're having fun with it! Thanks again for joining us!
