I'm really enjoying this. Timmy is a fascinating character and the narrative flows beautifully despite the flashbacks. I'm particularly delighted to get 5 delicious portions instead of four!

That makes me happy! Not only was I worried about the challenge of the succession of flashbacks in general but leading the story with a flashback. I learned through screenwriting that it’s best to put the reader off balance at first and let them gradually catch up to the story. This gives them a kind of satisfaction that makes them more invested in the story. I’m glad it flowed that way for you. Thanks for the feedback!
