Nothing like the presence! There is not past, nor future, only now... When you read present tense in a story it's like it is happening all over again. Although when I write stories I use both tenses and it still makes sense.

I just get so lost in the story when Im writing that you can tell.I get stuck and fixated on the action and all descriptions stop.While its certainly more interesting reading a present tense story,its hella hard writing it.I'll post a sample of my work later and Ill let you be the judge.Though I do find it more convenient to omit certain details that will slow the story and action sequences.

I'll say. I was actually so much into the story that the sudden end has left me wanting to know what happens then. If you ever publish the full story let me know. Without having read the whole thing i can still say that your characters are great.
