Today's prompt: zombie

________________________________________________


Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered


“Please tell me you did not refuse to assist me with my latest experiment to go to the cinema with Lestrade to watch that stupid zombie movie.”

“Ok, first, you didn’t need me to assist you, you merely wanted me to be there to listen to your findings and stroke your already alarmingly big ego by praising you. Second, be glad that Greg wanted to see the movie too so that I didn’t force you to go with me. And third, it wasn’t a stupid movie. We had a lot of fun, which was the only aim of the enterprise.”

“How can you enjoy a movie that is based on an impossible basis to begin with? People coming back from the dead is not possible.”

“May I remind you of what happened in the morgue last month? If that wasn’t someone coming back from the dead, I don’t know.”

“Very amusing, John. Only he wasn’t really dead in the first place.”

“Dead enough to fool both the paramedics and me. And you, by the way.”

Sherlock did not deign him an answer.

“Did you find out what exactly happened to him?”

“I... We are still looking.”

“Maybe it was voodoo.”

“Please stop this nonsense. I need to concentrate. I swear to you that he wasn’t a zombie, and he wasn’t bewitched.”





Next 221b: Play it cool

The prompt was 'zombie'.

Hello. This is your captain speaking. I'm sorry to announce that over the next 7 days updates will happen irregularly because there is this thing called real life and right now it's GREAT AND VERY DISTRACTING! And also it's summer! :D

Really? *smiles lecherously*

...ego
Oh. *hides her disappointment*

People coming back from the dead is not possible.
*looks at Sherlock pointedly*

Wow, three b-words in your title. Also, you chose a song that talks about Sherlock (or John) since it says,"Horizontally speaking, he's at his very best". :D Enjoy your great and very distracting real life and your summer! :-)

stroke your already alarmingly big...
Hahaha, wow. That went right past me. Usually I write stuff and think 'Oh, Choco and/or Verity will have a field day with this'. ;)


"Horizontally speaking, he's at his very best"
*snorts*

Thank you sweetie! <3

I love their banter in this - it conveys their relationship beautifully :)

As for the title, I'll leave the classy, musical interpretations to Chocola. For me, it's 'Ooh...Buffy!'

And you'd be totally right. I never knew there was a song with that title, I stole it from Buffy! :D

How are you with the kids running around in the house all day? *hugs*

Hurrah for Buffy! Must re-watch that one of these days, it's a few years since my last marathon (at least three, for sure since it's been all Sherlock all the time since mid-2010!)

Week 1 of school holidays is almost done... not that I'm counting.
Much.
