It’s always really satisfying when people use the structures that ficly offer to their advantage, and to the advantage of some innovative storytelling…
Although, strangely, I find second person to be the least immersive form of writing, this did a fair job of setting a scene around the reader – obviously important in this kind of piece!
Ah, okay the DnD does explain the second person narration, like you’re the dungeon master laying out a scenario for a game…or whatever you call it. My big complaint would be the switch from past tense in the first paragraph to present tense in the last two paragraphs.
I can understand that, but I don’t get that myself. In the first paragraph he has explained what led up to the current situation, and then proceeds to build from there. I didn’t think this would cause any problems when I wrote it, so I’d be interested if it bothers anybody else.
