It's not the tense that's so unusual, it's the, um, person. The story is written in (I think -- Jeff W., college teacher, can confirm or correct) SECOND PERSON present tense.<br><br>(First person: "I fritzjibbit the jimjam."<br> Second person: "You fritzjibbit the jimjam."<br> Third person: "He (or she or they) fritzjibbit the jimjam.")<br><br>It's sort of a "Choose Your Own Demise" adventure story (a role-playing game where you probably can't win ...)<br><br>Robert M.
