Re: Fill: Dear Sherlock, if you're reading this... (3b/?)

The first month dragged on incredibly slowly. Sherlock couldn’t sleep in the first weeks, she had nightmares. She dreamt about John who was in a snow white desert. Everything was black and white and John played football with his mates but after a few minutes it always turned into horror. The black and white picture had a new colour - red. A few red stains on John’s torso, around his liver. It was barely visible at first but stated growing. His shirt was soaking in red after a few moments, and drops started falling from his nose and it also leaked through his mouth. He smiled at Sherlock but his teeth were red now, the blood colouring the front of his shirt.

Sherlock awoke every time in a pool of cold sweat, with the duvet tangled around her body and her belly. She threw it away and put one of her hands on her stomach, rubbing soothing circles on it, and scrubbed the sticky sweat form her face with her other hand.

She wrote a letter every day to John; some of them only a few lines long but she couldn’t help it, she needed to feel John there with her. On Friday she put these letters in an envelope and went to the post office and posted it.

She sent three letters and got response three times. John’s handwriting was calm and controlled but she could detect dried splashes of teardrops on the paper. It always made her heart clench; she knew John wanted to come home and hold her tight.

After sending another two letters and not receiving any answers, she started worrying. It wasn’t like John to forget to write. On a dark Tuesday afternoon she got her answer for her concerns.
