Fluff & Stuff

Testing

"Sherlock! I'm home!" John called out as he opened the door, shutting it behind him. He set the grocery bags on the floor before he removed his coat and placed it on the hanger, also removing his hat in the progress. London was extremely cold on that particular day, so John had willed himself to wear a hat, his coat and also Sherlock's scarf. She had insisted he borrowed it for once, putting the excuse that she 'didn't want him to get sick'. John chuckled as he removed the scarf and hung it also. He picked up the groceries again and walked into the living room. "Sherlock-"

A loud scream rang through the flat and John dropped the bags onto the floor abruptly. "Sherlock!" John screamed in a panicked voice. He rushed forward, pulling a chair under her and then finding something to cut the rope with. The body moved and John paused.

"Yes, John?" She said, smiling down at him. John stared back at her, his jaw hanging open. Realisation flashed across her face. "Oh. I suppose you must be having several questions in your head right now. To answer your main question, I was testing this method I saw on a social media. How am I not dead? Simple. I tied my entire torso in this vest that is also connected to the rope and prevents the pressure on my neck to be deadly." She explained as John looked for a knife in the kitchen. "My plan was precise so I finally tested it but was brought to a realisation that I had no way of getting down from my current position. I waited for you to get here for those reasons."

"Why the hell would you even try this?!" John asked incredulously.

"I was bored, John."
