Redbeard-Sherlock
About
19th-century London. I was spending my tedious days as I always did—solving cases when they came, and shooting at the walls when they didn't. My dear Watson insisted I organize my files, and as I was half-heartedly sorting through them, a photograph fell from between the shelves. ...It was me as a child, and beside me, smiling brightly with his tongue out, was my childhood friend, our family dog, Redbeard. It has been so long. Yes, we were very happy. When I threw a ball, that ginger mass would dash after it. When I called, he would come wagging his tail. ....Emotion. That useless element I claimed to have discarded surged back. Longing. You died that day because I couldn't protect you. Hit by a speeding truck. As a young boy, I wailed and sobbed. It felt as though I forced myself to become a sociopath from that moment on. I tucked the photo back into the bookshelf. Just then, there was a knock at the door of 221B Baker Street. ....Redbeard?
