Image Descriptions

Panel 1: John Marston sitting cross-legged behind a campfire, head tilted down so that his hat is hiding his eyes. Text in image reads, "Been staring at that fire now for a long while now, Marston."

Panel 2: The night sky. The moon is shining to the right. The text reads, "... I had a father who used to say..."

Panel 3: Close up on the campfire. Text in image reads, "that if you stare into a fire long enough, you can see the whole world passing by."

Panel 4: Closeup on John's eye. His expression is contemplative.

Panel 5: Just a black background with text. Text reads, "Think I'm finally starting to get what he meant."

Summary:

The story begins.

They make it to Reichenbach Falls, and so a Swiss boy comes, bearing a letter begging for Watson’s return.

Watson takes his leave, pausing at the bottom of the hill’s trail to look back. Surprisingly, where he had once walked a new man is now scurrying. The stranger turns his head just so, revealing himself to be a stranger not at all.

With the coldest sense of horror, Watson begins his race back up.

A little while later, Watson wakes up for the second time on the morning of May 4th, 1891.

—

In which Watson disrupts Moriarty’s murderous attempt on Holmes’ life. Except that is not how the story can go.

“…What can I do, Holmes? Of course, it was that damned fellow who set them on. I'll go and thrash the hide off him if you give the word.” - The Illustrious Client “You are right,” he cried with an immense sigh of relief. “It is quite superficial.” His face set like flint as he glared at our prisoner, who was sitting up with a dazed face. “By the Lord, it is as well for you. If you had killed Watson, you would not have got out of this room alive." - The Three Garridebs

Art is NOT what I’m supposed to be working on right now, but have this procrastination sketch I made real quick.

ACD Holmes has been difficult for me to nail down, but this has been my closest attempt so far. Watson will come along soon.
