Re:‘Show, Don’t Tell’ Almost Ruined Me as a Writer by summerdown2 on Wednesday October 09, 2019 @05:15AM (#21201431)
To me, the two versions here don't seem like 'showing' vs 'telling,' but interior monologue vs exterior view.

I prefer the first example, and read it as a window into the character's thoughts. It's very much showing to me, but done through character voice and thought.
