Flashback is a literary device wherein the author depicts the occurrence of specific events to the reader, which have taken place before the present time the narration is following, or events that have happened before the events that are currently unfolding in the story.
Flashback: is the way an author can let the readers know what happened or took place previously. Usually it leads to a big reveal. I did use this devise purposefully. Chapter 3, and 6-10 is all a flashback using Tom to give the backstory of “Why”.
Chapter 3 tells the trial of the fallen angel.
