An example of past tense in short story:

Mark looked out the window. It’s raining today. Usually, he remembered what happened one year ago.

 

Mark walked alone that night. Very quiet. If he come early, maybe all was well. Someone’s death that dark night, made Mark blame himself.

 

Has he killed the girl?

 

No! Mark isn’t a killer. He should be a savior. He was supposed to save the girl. However, Mark was too late. The girl was covered in blood.

 

So tragic. About his first love.
