.oOOo.

The anarchists had succeeded. Victoria Station' was all chaos and screaming and billowing smoke.

Sherlock Holmes struggled against the surge of the bloodied, burnt, and wide-eyed. Whilst others sought to flee, he needed to enter; his eyes desperately seeking someone.

There! Dr Watson guiding a young woman with a pram, caught Holmes' eye and waved. He was safe.

The glass roof groaned. The initial blast had destabilised its infrastructure.

With an ominous crackling sound, the remaining panels detached, shattering as they struck the girders on their descent. Time slowed. The shimmering shards rained down indiscriminately on those on the platform.

.oOOo.

Oh my goodness. I do hope there's a continuation of this one.

[capt_facepalm]

The answer is the usual "confirmed maybe". Thanks for your interest!

[gardnerhill]

Ow.

[capt_facepalm]

Yeah. That one is going to hurt if I ever expand on it.
Thanks!

Will they survive?

[capt_facepalm]

W is for Watson, caught in the station
H is for horrible injuries, sustained in a blast
U is for unknown perpetrators attacking the nation
M is for Moriarty, vengeance at last
P is for plot (of which there is none)

[smallhobbit]

Excellent!

[debriswoman]

I am now worried...

[capt_facepalm]

Yes, it is certainly a bad situation.
Thanks, Mrs P!
