I'd stick to that excuse. It's a really good one. Actually the length is irrelevant.

Certainly the directions must all be in the present tense. And any soliloquy breaking the 3rd wall would be present tense. A play, TV or movie unfolds in real time, except maybe for a flashback, which is still all in the present tense.

Since you are long off caffeine it must be an "out of cheese error". Send Grommet out for more.
