Writing Prompt #357: Second-Person Narration Justified

Have you ever written to someone telling the story of something they were there for?

The first time you met, that thing they thought went terribly, what you were thinking that time when.

I have a habit of writing letters when there were things in the moment that I couldn't say. I don't send them, but I write anyway. I tell people how important they are or how confused I was and what I wish I'd said. I tell them what would be interesting to them; what they looked like, how they sounded, what I'd assumed about them and how I think I was wrong.

Write a story in second-person. The more important you make the story to the narrator, and the more important you make the write-ee to the story, the more gripping it'll be.
