The interior story begins with the line '"Kevin, come inside!" my mother called.' This line separates the current moment from the moment the speaker is remembering - he and Matt playing outside; Kevin's mother calling him in. There is another story being told now, one about the past. But it is told as if it were happening at this moment. We have, from this moment on, an interior story.
