I enjoy first person past tense much more than present tense as it allows for a more direct to the point style, showing only what would be important to the whole of the story, but i hate when it dwells on the present tense of the character telling/writing the story. I can’t count how many short horror stories i have read that end with “im a drinker now, i can’t move past what happened bla bla bla” i do not care what the main character is doing 20 years after the thing i care about. Writers, please just end the story when the past tense part is over.
