What if the first-second-third person system kept going?

  • In first person, the story is narrated by a character. “I head for the patch of wild mint. But I see them moving; something’s already in them.“

  • In second person, the story is narrated by an in-universe you. “You head for the patch of wild mint. Something is moving in them.“

  • In third person, the story is narrated by an unseen in-universe entity. “Kemi is headed for the patch of wild mint, but she notices something moving in them.“

  • In fourth person, the story is about someone reading the book. “Kemi goes for the patch of wild mint. But there’s something moving in them . . . what is it?“

  • In fifth person, the story is narrated by you reading the book. “You turn the page. You read that Kemi is moving towards the patch of wild mint, in spite of an unidentified entity.“

  • In sixth person, the story is narrated by an unseen entity watching you read the book. “Kathee turns the page. As she reads, she raises her eyebrows slightly.“
