@Stef Sherlock Holmes, the character, does not suffer from "several auditory, visual, and tactile hallucinations, PTSD flashbacks, vivid dreams" that can only be shown to the reader if the narrator has access to a character's mind, but about witnessing stunning cognitive feats that are easy to verbalize and are only surprising narrative turns and only formidable when viewed from outside. Sherlock Holmes, the tale, requires the first-person observer perspective to generate the intended narrative effect.Ben– Ben2026-03-31 19:38:00 +00:00Commented 9 hours ago

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. creative-writing), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
