.oOOo.

Retirement in Sussex meant Sherlock Holmes had more time for reading and he chuckled at an article about Scotland Yard adopting the new method of finger-mark tracing, an under-appreciated science that he had been on the forefront of years ago.

‘Watson, you won’t believe what Scotland Yard is up to now. Watson?’

Silence.

Oh.
~|~

Sherlock Holmes rummaged through the pantry, compiling a list for a trip to the village.

“Watson, would you like lemon for your tea if I can get one?

Silence.

Oh.

~|~

The clouds were gathering on the horizon.

‘We’re in for some rain, wot, Watson?’

Silence.

Oh.

.oOOo.

And it never stops being a sucker punch every time he forgets-and-then-remembers.
