“As a teenager, I didn’t want to be me; I wanted to be many different people. Maybe I realized that they all lived inside me and that if I managed to connect with them, they would become aspects of me.”
This facility was built to give people a chance to live. I walked in here and I died.
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.
