One of the sisters placed the back of her hand lightly against his forehead.

…feverish…

Watson nearly fainted from vertigo when they raised him to a seated position. A spoon of mash brushed his lips. Swallowing was difficult. A feeding tube lay ready on the orderly’s tray.

…please, not that…

Their manner was not cruel. They handled him with clinical detachment. Wide leather restraints secured his arms to the side of his bed.

…too weak…

He stared at the string tied around his ring finger.

Remember.

It brought to mind a familiar voice and the aroma of strong tobacco.

Remember.

.oOOo.

Oh no. Poor Watson.

Oh Watson! You must remember about Holmes, but what exactly?

And I'm delighted you are giving continuation to a fic from 2013, that's great!

Nooooo, not enough data!

C'mon, Watson, you have to snap out of it!

Thanks! The poor man is utterly befuddled.

[capt-facepalm.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Watson is so confused.

[capt-facepalm.livejournal.com]

Thanks! What is it that he needs to remember, and why can he not do it? Poor fellow.

Thanks! The poor doctor cannot make bricks without clay.

This, and its prequel, practically beg for expansion :)

Oh my! July whump for certain. Poor Watson! And as someone else who has a habit of continuing JWP stories across multiple Julys, I will petition for a continuation of this with a clear conscience. ;-)

Thanks!
Perhaps more will come in time.

[capt-facepalm.livejournal.com]

Thanks!
Perhaps there will be a new installment next year!

I, for one, certainly hope so ;)
