SHERLOCK CHALLENGE — day twenty-five: whatever tickles your fancy » “Miracles”
My dearest John,
You should know by now that miracles don’t happen. It’s not the way the world works. Wishing for the impossible never yields satisfactory results.
I am not an angel. I am not a savior. I am most certainly not a hero. For your sake and mine, please stop believing that I am anything of the sort, because I’m not. I have never been anything more than I claim to be: a detective.
There’s not much I can do for you now, because no one can repair the wounds of the heart, especially not one so empty himself.
But I can do this for you, John. I can be what you need just one more time.
I’m not dead.
Come back to Baker Street, John. I’m waiting.

“My first agent dissuaded me from calling myself ‘Cumberbatch.’ I had six months of not very productive time with her, so I changed agents. The new one said, ‘Why aren’t you using your family name? It’s a real attention-grabber.’ I worried, ‘How much is it going to cost to put my name in lights?’ But, then I decided that’s not my problem.”
