Discl: Sherlock doesn't belong to me, and I don't make profit with this work

The personal blog of Dr John H. Watson, February 23th

Six month later

The first day Sherlock did not occupy at least one line on at least one front page was a Friday and it was three month after his death.

The next week, he was barely mentioned anymore, then his name only fell in association with Kitty Riley's trial, but it became less and less frequent. In fact, he has not been mentioned anywhere for five weeks now. I guess it is truly over, then.

But is it? I don't think I will move back into Baker Street, so that part of my life is over. I will never assist in any case again, unless some victim met me to have his cold treated. No more New Scotland Yard, no more chasing criminals through dark alleys, no more bribing homeless people for information. And still, I believe it will never be over for me.

There still are loose ends to wrap up. There is Kitty Riley, who still is on trial. There still are stories to tell. Some are great, I can assure you. And I will tell them, be it only so someone will remember.

Today, Baker Street 221B still lies empty, the police struggles to keep up with the constantly rising crime rate and if I don't sit in my day job, I sit at home and stare at the cursor. It was the end of those horrible four months, June to October, in which Sherlock Holmes, the man who only needed eighteen months to change my entire life to the better, was discredited, died, got torn apart by the papers and finally fully redeemed, only to be forgotten two weeks later, shoved aside in favour of new sensations. But maybe I should start the story from the beginning.

I told you my…no, our version of Sherlock's fall, from the figurative to the literal. Maybe it is time now to tell you about mine...

So, this has been floating in my head for a while and I finally decided to write it up. In later chapters, the Italics would be the blog, while normal script would be the rest of the world. If there's anybody interested, just leave a comment! Thank you!

Lots of Love, KandyKitten
