Hello!
I wrote a short one-shot this weekend and I was wondering if one of our native speakers would be willing to proof-read it for me before I publish it. It is a rather sad one about Sherlock and John as old men. Not much work, just ~780 words (could be done via pm). Corrections and constructive criticism of all kinds would be welcome.
Thank you!

… and his friends and all his family and I’ve no idea why I’m telling you this.

Don't make people into heroes John. Heroes don't exist and if they did I wouldn't be one of them.

... but there may be some new players now. It’s okay. The East Wind takes us all in the end.

I'm excited to read it. Sounds not ordinary!

John: "Have you spoken to Mycroft, Molly, uh, anyone?"
Mrs Hudson: "They don’t matter. You do."

I BELIEVE IN SERIES 5!

Finished. I'll upload the story tomorrow (I'm too tired now). Thanks again to Davina for helping me.
