“Sometimes, you read a book and it fills you with this weird evangelical zeal, and you become convinced that the shattered world will never be put back together unless and until all living humans read the book.”


My breath pumping in and out
My heart pounding heavily
My mind trying to figure it all out
My feet pumping lightly

I look into the window on my right
He’s still following me
I run across the block on the right
But he’s just behind me

I race at full speed
But he catches up
I worry that I’ll trip at this speed
The moon is lightening up

My feet pound on the pavement
Am I safe?
Footsteps sound on the pavement
Am… I… safe?

I close my eyes
He’s right in front of me
I don’t want to open my eyes
But he’s right in front of me

I cry
He laughs
I cry
He laughs

I turn to run
He grabs my arm
He stops my run
A handcuff is on my arm

“Stupid Sherlock,” I say
“Stupid criminal,” He says
“Well what do you think I’ve done,” I say
“Murder, Moriarty. Murder,” He says
