Author's Notes: Written in response to JWP 2016 #20 (Turn of the Tide) on Watson's Woes.
Shakespeare told it true. There is a tide in the affairs of men, and without warning, it will drown you.
Both man and nature have destroyed my hopes, first with the Jezail bullet that shattered my shoulder, then with the enteric fever that ruined any possibility of returning to active service. Weak and miserable, I could only lie useless in my berth on the Orontes.
I am now in Portsmouth, and am reduced to a mere piece of flotsam that has found itself washed back up on England’s shores.
What will I do now?
