I like this variation especially. It draws an immediate question mark and piques the reader's curiosity about what began the chain of events. Fun! I tend to write mostly linear stories, but I'll have to try this one out.
I actually quite enjoy books where within chapters you start after an event and then whatever happened is slowly brought about through recall. G RRRRRR Martin did this quite a lot with his A Song of Ice and Fire. It always worked well as a means to get you straight into a chapter.
Gosh, this is such an interesting variation - although it feels very, very different to be reading it the 'wrong' way round, it works really well indeed! It feels like you're relating to a friend what had happened to you - and thinking about it, I will often tell a story in that direction rather than from the start, verbally to a friend, at least.
I love how these Experiments in style make me think, Terry - bravo (again!). 😊
I like it; there’s still tension because, though you know the chronological outcome, you don’t know the historical one? May have to give it a whirl!
I love it!! Very approachable. Grin. A good read. Thanks so much.

Good fun, as usual! This one works particularly well. Excellent stuff.
This totally works! Great job, Terry.

That works very well. One of my recent stories starts with a sort of aftermath scene. I like the effect. Well done Terry.
Well done!

This version works perfectly, doesn't it? Seems exactly right. I may experiment with one of my old stories, just to see what happens. Thanks Terry
