There were times when the damp and cold of England would put an ache into my very bones. The effects of the Jezail bullet I took in Afghanistan would stay with me all my life. Such was my injury that I would feel it in different parts of my body at different times, my leg one day, my shoulder another.

Watson has clearly been consuming some of Holmes' mind-altering substances. Nice one.

Thanks! Watson's wandering wound.

Okay, this one made me laugh. Well done.

[spacemutineer.livejournal.com]

YES. Finally -- a logical explanation for the wandering wound! I love it!

Ahahaha, perfect.

[shouldboverthis.livejournal.com]

Thanks! As soon as I saw a reference to the injury I knew where I had to go.

[shouldboverthis.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Poor Watson. Just feels it all over. :)

Thanks! .Couldn't resist

Hah, when I read that bit, I said, "but WHERE is that bullet, Watson?" out loud. I'm in the habit of talking to fiction.

Haha - I agree with that comment, lol...

Ahaha, a most remarkable injury! Well played :)

Oh, nicely done! ACD should wish he had such a good explanation for his inconsistency. ;-)

[shouldboverthis.livejournal.com]

LOL! Little did the shooter know how much would hang on his aim.

[shouldboverthis.livejournal.com]

Giggle! Not just laziness?

I'm so glad you wrote this! I had the same thoughts when I read the story!
