Note how the "brain time" sequence in the Tobias Wolff story allows for a similar collage sequence. The bullet's progress allows Wolff to move from the unspooling bank scene, to a quickly cut montage.

So I have a scene in my book that I’ve written with these two stories in mind. These stories showed me how to move the reader through both a rapid-fire event and also a far-reaching event (one that is affecting multiple people in different ways nearly simultaneously).
I’ve been working off of memory with Wickedness, because it’s only ever lived in my head since the day I read it. But now, here it is again. Thank you so much!
