Enjorous:
While I agree with everything Meg just said, I have to say that flashbacks are one of the hallmark symptoms of PTSD, those people relive past events. It's been known that under the right (worst) conditions those flashbacks can last for a day or more.

It would work to simply jump all over a time cntinuim.  Played w this in ya.  Adds emotion as you interweave the events.  Key I think is carrying the emotional plot forward as the seemingly random events unfold.  Making your plot propulsion emotional rather than events in time.  Love the idea. Let us know how it works out.   Maybe do a test short story?

Thanks Meg--that's actually the plan!  I love non-linear story lines, but they're tough to do right.
