LoL! I have no doubt about that. You were probably a little thrown by the present tense, which you really don't see much of in published writing. I'm not too fond of it, myself, but it certainly isn't incorrect to write that way. I see a lot of it in my writing class, and I think you really hit on something when you said "It reads like a screenplay." That just made me realize that this may just be THE reason why many of my students write in the present tense. They write as if they are describing a movie that they are watching -- seeing as most, if not all of them, are more used to stories being told on screen than in print. It is all so clear to me now.
