Title: To Dining With Friends
Fandom/Warning/Rating: Sherlock Holmes (ACD), dark subject matter, rated G
Word Count: 100

Summary:
 Dining with friends is better than eating alone.
Author's Note: Written for watsons_woes's JWP#3.

I try to go on after Mary passes, truly I do.

Originally, I manage to blunder through by rote alone, but without her steady presence by my side, tethering me to the world, I find myself incapable of putting forth the effort to continue the pointless charade.

No-one needs a soldier unable to serve; a doctor lacking the drive to heal; a husband without a spouse; a boswell without someone to chronicle.

Putting my affairs in order is a simple task, as is obtaining the poison.

I may be lunching alone, but I shall dine with Mary and Sherlock tonight.

*sobs* Serves me right for thinking, "How dark can 100 words be?" Thanks for that!

Oh, Watson, NO! D:

(And though you meant it or not, that last line got me thinking about Holmes and his reaction when he finds out and that's just killing me too.)

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I did think of that. Because I am evil. :)

[ancalime8301]

Oh, Watson. :(

But this was just 100 words, how could you do that in 100 words??

Watson, come out of it, man!
