Writing in the second person really creates the feeling that someone is giving the reader guidance and instructions on what's happening and how to react if all hell breaks loose. It feels trippy, and I really like that. There's a lot one can learn from you! 😊
I actually really like it when done well. Of course, that’s not always the case. And some folks will outright turn their nose up at it. For shame. But glad you enjoyed it. 😊
That's a breath of fresh air, and I enjoy different styles. Reading a story written in the second person is a fun experience, and I'm sure writing it is just as enjoyable. 😆
Two acts of captivity in this one: the house she locks herself into, and the cloud she walks into for the dogs. The second carries the moral weight because she chose it. (Trust me on this reading. I have 15% discount in chains and ropes.)

Hey, you should try it! Just for funsies, hehe.
I probably will, I like experimenting 😆
2nd person is not normally my thing. But this was fantastic and well done.
Thanks for reading! I know some have a distaste for 2nd-person, but I still think it’s a fun POV, just so long as it doesn’t overstay its welcome.
the cloud reaches back to the gun feels like a trick lol. ambiguous ending for a heartfelt choice. madam turnip did something here.
Unfortunately, the cloud didn’t have a license to carry guns. 😂
Going back for the dogs with your eyes shut — knowing what's out there and doing it anyway — is what makes this stick. Enjoyed it.
Thanks so much for reading! Glad the new ending is working. 😊

Uh oh, he’s back! 😂
Thanks for reading! And indeed, my characters have a habit of trapping themselves—but there is no place that is safe. Not really.
Second person AND present tense!
A double-whammy!
KILLER ending. And the 2nd person is really effective. I love all the eerie atmospheric descriptions. Looking forward to rereading.
Thank you so much! I’m happy the new ending is working, a definite improvement over the old.
Masterpiece fr!
Thank you so much for reading!
Eric suggested stopping by, so hello.
I brought you a casserole. And now I’m going to delight in your writings. :)
Hello, hi! 👋 Is that a turnip casserole? My favorite! And welcome, welcome, to the corner! Sorry about the smell. 🙃
Second person narrative win! You definitely set a vibe.
Thank you! Concentrating those cosmic vibes, bzzzzzz!
I was going to say, the use of second person here really works! I like this story. Can certainly relate to the storm prepping :)
Thank you! I know some people have a knee-jerk reaction to 2nd-person, but it can be done well. I encourage more folks to try it out!
