5 things that will likely never amount to anything

was going to write bits of that batman/sherlock holmes fusion/crossover thingy where scotland yard asks holmes to figure out who the masked vigilante is, but wound up spending 10 hours at work and am bushed (my own fault, though, for accidentally going 2 hours early). so instead, i give you a hodgepodge of fragments written on scraps of paper at work when i was trying to do other things.

1. "I know a lot of stories," Toby said, unsure why he spoke even as the words fell off his tongue.

5. This is not the way, of course, but it's safer, and there are better places to go than where the sea runs red with blood and no moon shines overhead.
