[10 out of 20] Sherlock Holmes (ACD): Gen
Title: Neat Moroccan case
Fandom: Sherlock Holmes (ACD)
Rating: Gen
Length: 100
Prompt: confused
Notes: Angst. set during Hiatus (when Holmes is 'dead')
Summary: Watson tries to find a cause for his bad mood.
The day’s mood confused me. I swung between the poles of querulous and melancholic, a most illogical, to employ a word often used by my late friend Sherlock Holmes, state. If Mary noticed my temper, she did not remark upon it. That evening, I reflected upon the day’s happenings, seeking a cause.
And then I hit upon it.
My calls had taken me by a market, and my gaze had been caught by a Maghrebi rug of the same pattern of Holmes’ loathsome ‘neat Moroccan case.’
Thus, explained, the mystery ceased to be, but the grief, new and old, remained.
