I largely agree with [this answer](https://writers.stackexchange.com/a/2600/1993), to which I add: 1. Order of perception by your POV character fits nicely into all the _other_ stuff that you're telling through that POV, so it's a good place to start. 2. On rare, special occasions, you can get extra impact by violating that: > The cool breeze through the lush trees lining his path carried the scent of lilac from bushes he could not see. He watched one gray squirrel chase another alongside the path -- wow, he thought, these critters are used to humans; I could have reached out and touched them. Birdsong blended with the rustling of leaves. > > It would have been a perfect place to pause and lose himself in his thoughts, if not for the..._thing_ climbing out of the fiery pit before him.
