Thats not passive voice..It's also not that big a deal for stories as well and I will never understand why people are so anal about it. Even popular novels don't do that with every single sentance, but if its blarrying then it's an issue. A few lines here and there is fine, if its a good story people won't even notice in most cases, butttt..if its really obvious and the story is bad then its an issue.

Such as in the creepypasta Lunch lady. Crap pasta told poorly from a character in first person in past tense that died in the story.

When its all in first person but in pass tense and the character dies...Like, how did the ghost tell the story then? If you had this happen to you, why the fuck are you dead.
