DRABBLE SUNDAY! 100 Words For the Prompt: "Challenge"
Thought I'd throw out a new challenge. Drabble Sundays! All that's required is 100 words that reflect (as loosely as you'd like) the prompt. This Sunday's prompt is "Challenge". Any characters/ships/no ships is welcome -- just put a drabble in the comments of the post, as many as you'd like.
Get your scribble caps on and give it a try! I'd love to read them. :D
Fanart and picspams are welcome too! Let's have fun.




DRABBLE: My Challenge, My Curse, Holmes, G, 100 words
Watson has called me an unfeeling, calculating machine.
If only...
… I could assume that utter aloofness that he accuses me of, that ability to be above all things, all sensations, all emotions.
To be able to walk into a room and not immediately be overwhelmed by a thousand details demanding my attention, my reaction, my response! Sounds assailing me from all directions, visual input so dazzling and confounding—all demanding sorting and categorization before I can even begin to act!
To feel not every emotion all at once, but a single one at a time.
Oh! How I wish!
Waaaah. :( Poor Holmes, how sadly he told Simza that was 'my curse'. At least Watson calms him down, in some ways, lol.
I know. (sniffle!)!
DRABBLE: Case Solved, Holmes & Watson, 100 words
"The challenge, my dear Watson, is to hone all your senses, not just to use your eyes."
The blindfold itched and made him feel ridiculous, but Watson tried gamely to deduce what Holmes was doing from his other senses alone, eschewing vision. He could hear a match being lit, smell and taste the thick scent of burning tobacco in the air and feeling around the nearby table, he discovered all evidence he needed to solve the case.
Watson pulled off the blindfold with an exasperated noise. "Are you smoking my last cigarette?"
Holmes' laughter was all the affirmation he needed.
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! That tricksy Mr Sherlock Holmes!!! That will teach Watson to put on a blindfold around him again!!
Priceless, and a typically RDJSherlockian way to satisfy a nicotine fit!!
Brava!!
