historical present tense

Your sentence is in the present tense.  It is not possible to tell from a sentence alone whether you are writing in the historical present tense (also called the narrative tense).

The historicial present tense occurs when the speaker/narrator use the present tense when speaking of past events.  This is used to make past event appear more vivid and immediate to the reader/listener.  The speaker/narrator usually begins the story in the past tense -- so the listener/reader knows when the events occured -- and makes a transition to the present tense. Often, the story's conclusion returns to the past tense.
