    REVERSE ORDER

    A method of storytelling,
    whereby the plot is revealed
    in reversed or opposite order.
    ● Caktiong family began to acquire
    a branch of Magnolia Ice Cream
    Parlor.

    ● Hundreds of customers went to


    the store and purchased ice
    cream.
    ● Not until they became fed-up
    of buying only ice cream, so
    the sales went down.
    ● The family then decided to
    plan on adding hamburger,
    chicken joy, and spaghetti.
    ● Customers became addicted to
    it, and would always love to go
    to the store named “Jollibee”.
    ● It is also known as “retrograde
    writing”.
    ● A-B-C-etc., X-Y-Z-etc.
    ● Similar to the flashback
    though more comprehensive in
    its scope.
    ANOREXIA BY: THE HERMIT
    LIFESTYLE

    I hate the girl in the mirror


    so you’ll never hear me say that
    I’m good enough.
    I know in my heart that
    the number on the scale
    defines my worth and that
    being thin will make me
    happy
    I refused to believe that
    there is hope.
    I’m ashamed of my body.
    No longer can I say that.
    I am worth fighting for.
