No, it definitely seems like it's a problem. So suggestions on how I fix it? Would it help if I put a date stamp on top of the flashbacks? Or is there any other way? -- Data Retrieval and Verification

[> [> [> [> Subject: You know, I chuckled at the 'datestamp' idea (I was thinking of a punchclock from the dungons of retail, years ago), but it's a valid device. A simple year, or month/year in italics, only for the flashbacks. Try it, and see how it looks. That's the real test.

[> [> [> [> [> Subject: I'm kinda sulky about that idea, though. What about rephrasing the first sentence, so it starts with something like "At the age of nineteen...". Or something like that. I'll play around and see what I can come up with.
