Summary
Captain John H. Watson returns home to England on a rainy Tuesday afternoon in May. The administrator processing his discharge papers pauses in surprise when she reaches the endowment section on his papers, and he just barely manages to keep from rolling his eyes. With the exception of medical professionals, endowment experts, or the rare few who bother to learn anything more than the basics of their own gift, people always assume that nothing unpleasant ever befalls a winder.
Not for longer than it takes to blink at least.
In a world where everyone is born with a gift, some things are meant to happen no matter what you do… they might just take a more circuitous route getting there.
