: Re: Which of the two cases of writing Flashback Stories is better? I am currently working on a story which is based on a flashback event of life. I want the past scene to appear as a current

You're asking whether to write flashbacks in past tense or present tense.

Seems to me using past tense makes the most sense. In fact, your whole story can be past tense, as long as you're clear about what is flashback and what is current time.

But really, it's not the tense you're writing in that makes an impact on the reader. Writing a great story with great characters, with a great narrative voice makes an impact on readers, not the verb tenses you use.
