The Snake and The Rabbit
I was taken aback by his complement. “When can I see her?” Holmes asked. “Give us half hour.” He turned to me, “would you like to help?” “I would be honored.” “Dr. Watson will come get you.” We moved her from surgery to a bed where she could wake up on her own. I wentContinue reading “The Snake and The Rabbit”

A burger was in my hand. A man brings every side in the restaurant to me. Lines themContinue reading “How much?”
The Snake and The Rabbit
