Story Profile– The Prisoners of Cawdor College

Story Profile– The Prisoners of Cawdor College 

 

Belanger Books’ two-part anthology Sherlock Holmes: Adventures Through the Multiverse has an interesting premise.  These are stories where something is a little different from the Sherlock Holmes Universe we’re used to reading.  Maybe Watson is the detective and Holmes is the doctor.  Maybe they live in America instead of London.  Maybe Holmes’ ethnic background is different.  The main linking factor is that the stories are set in a parallel universe.




 

In my story, I ask what happens if Moriarty won the fight at Reichenbach Falls.  Suppose he won, but instead of throwing Holmes over the edge, he and his men held Holmes (and Mycroft) as prisoners, occaisionally forcing them to use their brainpower for his own ends?
