In A peice of written work, the word used for a scene that happened during another scene.
3 replies, posted
Hello! I'm looking for a word that is used when a scene that is placed at the end of a book happened sometime during another scene earlier in the book.
For example, where as Prologue means something that happened before the main story I need a word for something that happened during the story, that could also be used as a page header.
I realize this may not be the place to ask but I figure once I get my answer the thread can die.
Thanks!
Achronological order?

That works, but the point is I need a word that can be used for a header, for example a book would go Prologue, Chapter 1, Chapter 2, etc
In my story it should go through all the chapters, then start a chapter at the end which took place before or during the story.
Since your story is moving forward you could just call it a flashback or title it as "Previously".
But I guess that depends on if you're writing it in first or third person.
