Yeah, I'm with the "rcentros is crazy" crowd. That WAS the consensus, right?

But how about we recommend some present-tense works to help unscramble his brain?

rcentros, how do you feel about second-person present-tense narratives? The narration from "The Whistler" old-time radio show comes to mind:
Quote:
You stand there stunned -- speechless -- just staring at them as they slap each other on the back, forgetting all about you. And George avoids looking at you. He's on their side now; you're sure of it. And, worst of all, it's beginning to get you, too. He's not Ted, your foster brother -- you know it; you're positive. It's ridiculous to go through all this rigmarole, but it seems to be your word against his proof, doesn't it? But there are still other ways, aren't there? Like another long distance call -- this time to the State Department in Washington, D. C. After being transferred to four or five different offices, you finally get through to the right man.
