A fascinating case study that is elegantly written. Brilliant.

Oh, this is so sad. That poem is positively cruel, but the perfect touch to the piece. Poor Sherlock... Wonderful work.

What a lovely read!

aw, that was short but sweet! i liked it!

This is stunning. I love this format. Good Job :)

Wow, this is brilliant.

Loved the way it was structured and written, great character study.

Very, very well written! It's very short, but you can somehow get a sense of what his entire life was like in between the gaps, and it seems like a very realistic progression from a six year old boy to the Sherlock Holmes we know.

Nice. I like how it's written.

Very, very good. The way you juxtaposed the child's rhyme and your portrayal of the character was masterfully done, and sets a quite creepy mood.

I felt like the last line was a bit anticlimactic, as if you could've said something that would have stuck in our memories forever, but instead it was just a deflated statement, almost confusingly worded. Given that the entire story was so well-written, I find that I don't really mind so much.

I definitely would give this the rating of K. Themes of ostracization, bullying, emotional disconnect, denial...I would rate it for teens to be safe.

Very good piece of writing.

Sad but wonderfully written! I recently rewatched "The Blind Banker" and the beginning of this story made me recall the hurt look on Sherlock's face in the scene at the bank when Sebastian remarks, "we hated him".
