Ficlet: Almost [Holmes/Watson]
“You know, I almost wish that I believed in God.”
“Oh really, and why exactly is that? You have made so many arguments against him through your infallible logic. Said that the world would be fixed more due to the fact more of the wicked would be smote for their misdeeds. Remember?”
“Oh, yes, and I still hold true to those arguments my dear Watson. There is, however, a very specific reason that I would like to think of God being real… not that I do mind you.”
“Well, I guess everyone wishes they thought there was a more supreme being at one point of their life or another.”
“…”
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
“You know that I don’t think that is an accurate statement.”
“Oh alright, fine, I give up. Why does the great Sherlock Holmes wish-”
“-almost wish.”
“-almost wish that he believed in God.”
“That is extremely simple. If I was one to think upon religion and everything that it encompasses than I would also put merit into those things. More importantly I would put merit into the mythical creature of angels.”
“… I don’t think I follow.”
“Surely it isn’t that difficult.”
“… You wish that you could believe in angels?”
“That would be the idea, yes.”
“Why?”
“Simply, really. If I were to believe in such creates that I would have a foundation to believing that you are one.”
“…”
“Watson?”
“…”
“Really this isn’t a stretch in logic, why else would you put up with me?”
“…”
“Oh come my dear man, say something!”
“… Sometimes I really hate you.”
