Title: The Fixed Point
Author: capt_facepalm
Rating: PG
Fandom: Sherlock Holmes (Gaslight)
Characters: Major John H. Watson, RAMC
Summary: An east wind has come
Warnings: (none, aww)
Word Count: 100
Author's Notes: July 16th prompt: (Visual: either a storm-surged lighthouse, or a purple fop)
Sherlock Holmes had foretold that continental war would be catastrophic. An east wind, he called it, comparing it to the gales that wreak havoc upon our fair shores. I understood his metaphor. The Prussians had been agitating for some time and England would not be spared. Holmes also predicted that the good ship Britannia would weather this maelstrom and, although at great cost, she would be better and stronger for it.
Out here, in the whirling vortices, his prophecy that our land will emerge intact and at peace, has become the one beacon that guides me through the raging storm.
.oOOo.
