  "The Final Problem" is a short story by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle featuring his detective character Sherlock Holmes. It was first published in Strand Magazine under the title "The Adventure of the Final Problem" in December 1893. It appears in book form as part of the collection The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes. This story, set in 1891, introduced Holmes's archenemy, the criminal mastermind Professor James Moriarty. Conan Doyle later ranked "The Final Problem" fourth on his personal list of the twelve best Holmes stories.
  Holmes arrives at Dr. John Watson's residence one evening in a somewhat agitated state and with grazed and bleeding knuckles. Much to Watson's surprise, he had apparently escaped three separate murder attempts that day after a visit from Professor Moriarty, who warned Holmes to withdraw from his pursuit of justice against him to avoid any regrettable outcome. First, just as he was turning a street corner, a cab suddenly rushed towards him and Holmes just managed to leap out of the way in time. Second, while Holmes was walking along the street, a brick fell from the roof of a house, just missing the detective. He then called the police to search the whole area but could not prove that it was anything other than an accident. Finally, on his way to Watson's house, he was attacked by a thug armed with a cosh. Holmes managed to overcome his assailant and handed him to the police but admitted that there was virtually no hope of proving that the man was in the employ of the criminal mastermind.

After all, she’s stunning, single, and makes his body burn with need. She’s also impetuous, being hunted by his enemies, and seriously conflicted on whether or not he’s a good guy. It’s his duty to not only protect her, but to win her heart—because this lonely merman is sure she’s the one for him. Now he just has to convince her.

  Running to Love

  He gave up on sleeping and swung his legs out of bed, wincing as his 
  weight transferred to his ass. The good doctor had demonstrated the fine 
  art of plugging an unwilling anus the night before, and if the accompanying 
  orgasm had been spectacular, it didn’t take away from the fact that his 
  bottom hole was a tad tender, not to mention his buttocks. That probably 
  had been the toughest lesson of all, and one that was going to be 
  repeated a few more times, apparently, but he wasn’t allowed to do 
  anything with a submissive until he’d experienced everything he planned to 
  do to them himself. The nipple clamps weren’t his favorite either, but the 
  thought of Fiona’s pert little ones adorned with…He cut that thought off 
  mid-hard-on. Fiona was no longer part of his life, and he couldn’t expect 
  her to participate in such things. Probably why he’d agreed to the training 
  in the first place, to give himself another reason to keep even her memory 
  at arm’s length.

  Sea of Tranquility is a sweeping, time-bending novel that explores the fragility of civilization, the persistence of art, and the nature of reality itself. Spanning centuries—from the Canadian wilderness in 1912 to a lunar colony in the far future—the story follows a cast of characters connected by a mysterious anomaly that suggests time may not be as linear as it seems. As pandemics echo across eras and lives intersect in unexpected ways, the novel weaves a haunting meditation on existence, memory, and the enduring human drive to seek meaning in chaos.

  Jamie O'Neill loves the color red. He also loves tall trees, patterns, rain that comes with wind, the curvature of certain objects, books with dust jackets, rivers, cats, and Edgar Allan Poe. At age thirteen, there are two things he wants most in life: to build a Perpetual Motion Machine, and to connect with his mother, Noelle, who died when he was born. In his mind, these things are intimately linked, and at his new school, despite the daily barrage of bullies and cathedral bells, he meets two teachers who might be able to help him, though each struggles against inertias of their own.
