Flash-forward to present – walking into grounds
Paragraph 4 - Close-up Keep focus on your character or you can switch to setting but something changes in this paragraph. Add detail.

Paragraph 5 - Extreme Close-up Zoomin further Something is revealed to leave the reader in shock or surprise you can end on a cliffhanger you can link back to the beginning so you have a cyclical structure. a chill through my bones like a grave mosaic tiles scattered leaves where others had died dark exact spot on my own torch ruins
