I think the flashback parts here work better as continuations rather than flashbacks, so she can be invincible, instead of ignorant. As a flashback, she is in denial, as a current event, she is seeking her next prey..
I have to agree with you. In my head, I saw it as a flashback and it made perfect sense…I was going to weave back to the restaurant, but looking at it through your eyes brings a POV I didn’t see before. It’s more exciting, actually. More messy. And it has a ton more possibilities. Thanks!
