I am neither insane, psychotic, nor delusional. I am merely obsessed. Just because I'm obsessed, it doesn't mean that I'm mentally incompetent. That's a common misconception, however, so do not feel so bad if you thought that I was. But, I can assure you that my little obsession is just that; a little obsession. I can convince you that I am perfectly sane, not psychotic, and undelusional, if not just a little bit obsessive as I tell you about the subject of my obsession.
For the past few months, I've developed a little tiny bit of an obsession with a certain unofficial consulting detective by the name of Mr. Sherlock Holmes. Like I've said; a little obsession. I read about him in the newspapers, and The Strand. I follow him around London when I can find him at times, although it is a bit difficult.
While I'm following him (a feat that's harder than it looks,) I often take photographs of him. See, I told you I'm not mad! If I've still been unable to convince you of my sanity, then let me continue.
I have a small room in my flat where I mount my photographs of Mr. Holmes on the walls of the room, and all the newspaper clippings of him there, as well. I also keep all of the stories in The Strand that are about him lying in neat stacks on the floor of my little shrine to Mr. Sherlock Holmes.
I know I am perfectly sane, because if I wasn't, I'd dig through his garbage, or try to sneak into his flat, or something, and I've done neither of those things, so like I've said, I am the sanest, if not a bit obsessive woman in London, and I hope I've convinced you, my good readers, as well.

A/N: If anyone believes that the narrator is not crazy, then you're as crazy as her. This kind of sounds like The Tell-Tale Heart by Edgar Allan Poe. Please read it if you want to see the similarities. Please R&R!
