Advent Drabble 10 - Impossible
Requested by anonymous.
“When you eliminate the impossible,” Sherlock said, “whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth.”
“So Santa left us a bunch of birds in cages.”
Sherlock scowled. “No, no, that’s impossible, we are eliminating that.”
“What other possibility is there?”
“Mycroft.”
John snorted. “Mycroft is impossible, Santa is the improbable option.”
“My mother,” Sherlock suggested.
“How would your mother know exactly which days of Christmas you’d failed to gift me? Did you tell her?”
“My mother’s very clever,” Sherlock faltered. Then, “Mrs. Hudson.”
“No way. Guess again.”
“It can’t be Santa,” Sherlock despaired.
“Ho ho ho,” said John.
