Reichenbach Plan

Alternative title: Get Out, I Have to Go to My Mind Cab

Sherlock on the way to Bart's coming up with the plan for his fall. I love the idea of him being so caught up in his own cleverness and the brilliance of it all before realizing that---oh right, other people have feelings and are going to think I'm dead. At least, I'd like to think that thought occurred to him. Maybe it didn't.

I went with the largely prevailing internet theories on how he pulled off the fall--- a network of a few discreet people, something out of John's sight to break his fall, and the rubber ball to stop his pulse.

I had to put in the brush-off of Simon & Garfunkel's hit because ever since reading about the pulse-stopping trick, I've had "Red Rubber Ball" stuck in my head. Though upon thinking about it, it would make a great song for John to get all mopey over.

"You never cared for secrets I'd confide;
To you I'm just an ornament, something for your pride.
Always running, never caring, that's the life you lived.
Stolen minutes of your time were all you had to give."

John, quit being so emo! That song is on my "Feel Good" playlist!
