That's good. The stories I have read in present tense have all been seccond person. "You will blah-blah-blah," which gives me an awful knee-jerk reaction. A sort of "I will not! What the fuck do you know asshole? You don't know anything about me." Even if the "you" is really first person. I just don't like it. But this is real first person. Much better. Good good.
