Canon story: The Adventure of the Copper Beeches
Author: tweedisgood






Yes, Sherlock Holmes came to our house. Quick, little Miss Hunter was in danger. I still dine out on the story: my sister's escape, Father's disfigurement, Mother's vocation. Then my rise to eminence from the ashes of my family.

The fool ripped away the cord strung across the stairs, without comment: saving the weak from the strong. Unnatural. Illogical. Dangerous.

That child is really creepy. Nice touch with the unmentioned tripline. *shudders*

He really is, I just imagined him grown up. You know what they say about kids who are cruel to animals... Glad you liked (well, if 'liked' is the word).

This is so richly characterized in such a limited space. I'm excited you noticed the same thing I did -- serial killer in the making with the son. Yikes.

I was thinking more successful psychopath - he adopted his father's trick of hiding malevolence behind a mask...yikes indeed.

*shiver* Ugh. What a creeptastic entry - portrait of a very dangerous man in 60 words. Well done!

Thanks. You just wonder what became of some characters after the story ended...

I still dine out on the story
Wow, such a telling line. Awesome job!

Thanks. Yeah, the story as he tells it at dinner won't be the real one...
