Reminds me of the Will Ferrell movie Stranger than Fiction, which I enjoyed.

I have no idea where this is going but it's intriguing.

Love that movie. There’s something deeply wrong with realizing you’re just a plot point in someone else’s bad day. As for where it’s going, just remember that the narrator isn't always on your side. Thanks for reading.

Hey Miles,

My fault for not reading this when you first sent it to my note awhile back. But this was a cool original horror story. I love the fear and dread your character feels, your pacing is solid and it makes me wonder what the other chapters are going to focus on!

Glad you didn't die reading it. Yet. I’m focusing on the visceral side of the fear, so hearing that the pacing felt solid is great. The next chapters take some turns I don't think you'll see coming.

I was just yesterday looking for examples of 2nd-person narration to read. I didn't even consider meta-fiction / fourth-wall breaking. I'll have to read this first ;)

Second person is a fun way to make sure the reader cannot hide 😏
