For other uses, see Flash Forward (disambiguation)
A flashforward (also sometimes known as flash-forward or flash-ahead) in a narrative occurs when the primary sequence of events in a story is interrupted by the interjection of a scene representing an event expected, projected, or imagined to occur at a later time. Although the flashforward technique is used less frequently than its reverse, the flashback, it is often useful for defining the futuristic structure of science fiction stories, or for depicting the ambitions of a character.
