3Creature » by
K Ernst
Dr. John Watson stood back, solemnly taking in the spectacle of his scientific and medical colleagues examining and speculating over the strange being. He too was compelled by scientific curiosity, yet he could not resist the pull of compassion for this strange and soul-wounded creature. Or: Sherlock Holmes is an alien.
