Advent Drabble 9 - Oliver

[earlgreytea68]

For kleoette 

Oliver gapes at a window display of nativity scenes in a shop they’re passing.

Oliver says, “But what are they?”

“They’re little scenes people set up in their houses at Christmastime. The birth of the baby Jesus,” John explains.

Oliver looks thoughtful.

So John supposes he shouldn’t be surprised when he comes home a few days later to the flat full of nativities, all of them scenes of brutal murder, decapitated wise men, disemboweled babies.

Sherlock explains, “Oliver had the brilliant idea to have festive murder scenes at this time of year.”

“Scenes of birth…or scenes of death!” Oliver adds.
