This Sunday we are going to try writing a story in the second person. That means that instead of your central character being referred to as “I” or “he/she” you use “you”. The prompt is “You can’t be serious”. This does not have to be the first line or indeed used at all in the story. The usual 3-800 words, please. I’ve attached the beginning of a New Yorker story to show how it is done.
