Author's Notes: July 27th 2018 prompt: Treasure Island: A character has lost something they value.
.oOOo.
Mr Sherlock Holmes and Dr John Watson returned to their Baker Street flat. The detective picked up a handful of items from the mail salver.
‘Mundane correspondence for me, and an intriguing package for you, Watson.’
Watson didn’t recognise the small, flexible brown paper packet so he took it upstairs to the sitting-room where the light was better. When Holmes hadn’t heard from his fellow-lodger for several minutes, he became concerned.
Watson, ashen-faced, sat at his desk staring at a small, battered, blood-stained notebook.
‘I say! Is that your war diary?’
Watson nodded. ‘I lost it ten years ago today.’
