I suddenly realised I was staring down at my feet which were turning quite red. What was I doing? Right, shampoo, my compulsive nature had made me march straight home and into the shower. Meanwhile I couldn't help going over the events of today in my head. I'm so useless, how must I have looked to the other passengers? And is that all I really cared about, how I must have looked to them?
Anyway, I had other things to do, I tried to put it out of my mind. I turned off the hot tap, it became instantly cold.
Drying my hair with my towel I heard the washing machine finishing the rinse cycle. With a towel wrapped around myself I went into the ha
My great-grandfather used to tell me, "Don't chase after paperclips because you'll only end up with a book in your toe." I never quite understood his advice until one Towel Day, I was gardening with my best friend Charlie. All of a sudden, we found an underground tunnel! It was sparkling and spooky sounds came from deep within. Charlie saw something interesting inside, jumped in, and I never saw her again. Great-granddaddy was right!

The Final Elimination -Odyssey Project chapter 8
The light train that never stopped for anyone was waiting.
Something in the breeze behind Kaylin stirred. "Jackson?"
"I'm sorry, I should have told you,"
"Told me what?"
"I lied. It was always going to be you. Here and now, it always has been. This has been played out countless times. Each time with you waking up at the first gate.. I thought I could find another way out, but this is the only way. We don't know for sure what will happen when you destroy the gate but..."
"I'll disappear with it.." Kaylin finished

Odyssey - Chapter One
It started with running. It always starts with running. I don't know how I get myself into these situations but there I was again. My mother always used to say I was one to get myself into a mess. It was true, I couldn't help it, I was just attracted to danger. Still this time wasn't really like any of the other times. I had been contracted to do a job, not on paper, these people didn't work like that. It was more a case of get the job done or wind up in the city morgue, if you were lucky enough to be found that is. I had the job of transporting something called the zephyr to a buyer in Tokyo, of course part of my job was to actual

The Underlying Truth - Odyssey chapter two
The beauty of the scenery that rushed past her through the window remained unnoticed. She nervously twirled a piece of her hair around her finger, so tight that her finger was beginning to go purple. All she could think of was the trial to come, and not knowing only made it worse. It's times like these when you wish the journey would go on forever, that it comes to an end ever sooner, as if taunting you. The train slowed to a stop at the station. This was it. There was a moment of hesitation when she thought about not getting off, but it was too late to turn back. Trembling ever so slightly, she walked onto the platform and a stiff breeze ble

The Finding of the Way
In a junk yard, she finds herself running for cover, tears still streaming down her face. Bullets are being fired from different directions. Not at her, this is a previous conflict. Still, she can't risk being caught in the crossfire.
Finding refuge behind an old oil drum and unsure where to go next she buries herself in the book.
"You don't remember much do you?" the voice whispers from behind her. Resisting the urge to scream at the top of her lungs and trembling ever so slightly she turns around. In front of her stands a dirty looking young boy of about seventeen.
"You need to find the Zephyr, it's what makes travelling to other dimensi

Time to Choose - Odyssey into 2012
Her memories came flooding back, so many bitter memories, no wonder she'd left. A single tear made it's way down Kaylin's cheek. She brushed it away with the back of her hand. There was no time for that. She had something now that she didn't have before Determination.
In her mind's eye she could see every possible outcome of events, she knew exactly what to do. With the firmest resolve since she first got onto light train, she threw herself off onto the next platform. They would have to play by her rules now. She began to run. She had to find the man who brought her here.
"Jim, you're here,"
"Of course, I'm always here for you,"

Odyssey Project Chapter 5 - 'The untold past'
Revelations of her past came like a deluge. She fell down to her knees holding her head. Then standing up, it was finally all clear.
The smell of a thousand adventures crept up behind her in a way that made the hair on the back of her neck stand on end. A smile formed.
"Hello Darus. It was nice of you to jog my memory,"
"That wasn't supposed to happen,"
"I know. Good idea though. Create a delusion in my mind, just for me,"
"We wanted you to become that girl you were when you first came here, when you actually cared," he was backing away slowly now
"With the power of destruction, why would I ever want to leave? Poor pathetic Darus. Did y

The Bootstrap Paradox - Chapter six Odyssey 2012
Changing history can be dangerous, changing your own history, even more so. A paradoxical loop that would now play through for all time had been created. Had she made the right choice? It was necessary to eliminate failure... but at what cost? Jackson had been her closest friend, he was now dead. Could it have been prevented? The Light train was now her tool, her transport, to other times, other dimensions... even to where Jackson had died... she could go back.
She waited in the shadows, watching a version of her past self talk to Jackson. She watched as he collapsed to the ground... except there was no assailant. The sword had come from now

Chapter 7 - 'The Path that Cries'
Kaylin found herself walking around in what was the remains of a burnt city. Tokyo. It stood there, lifeless. Buildings burnt to the ground, other parts still partially standing, but in ruins and still smouldering. A knot in her stomach formed, it felt like failure. A tear slid down her cheek, but she brushed it away. She heard a noise behind her and turned around. "Jackson? but... I saw you die," he ran up to her and they exchanged an embrace. "You know how it is.. parallel worlds." he was grinning, but it was soon replaced with a serious expression. "It's not right, parts are slipping through Kaylin, merging together... look around."

:thumb290274949: Let's consider the facts:
- Molly was approached for help (she works in a morgue, has access to death records presumably ect.)
- Sherlock chose the location for the final meeting with Moriarty (he must have expected something was coming ("I owe you a fall") told Molly he thought he would die)
- Watson has his eye's on Sherlock the whole time (can't have thrown over a body double)
- A bike rider conveniently? knocks John out as he's running toward Sherlock's body (the only time he distracted from seeing Sherlock)
- Technically a three story fall can be survived if you 'fall right'
- In the book Mycroft is the only one w
