The thing - or style that is cool about yours is you accomplish the same thing - but you take the reverse or mirror image of that and do it backwards so that the elements that normally don't go together - in actuality are the initial perceptions of situation to the reader. Its almost if you played the Musical Notes Backwards of a song- and for 93% of it sounded like a Traditional Jazz piece but the last 7% showed that it was - and actually had been since the Beginning - a classical piece There probably is a name for that - and as I got my 9 Credits in English and stayed as fucking Far away from that building as possible the rest of my time in the University - I do not know it.
