What does Flash-forward really mean?

Flash-forward is a term we use when we want to talk about something that has not actually happened yet, but we imagine or predict it happening in the future. It's like watching a movie and suddenly, without warning, we are shown a scene that takes place later in the story. It's as if the story is jumping ahead in time to show us what might happen in the future.

Imagine you are reading a book about a magical adventure, where the main character is just starting on a journey. All of a sudden, the story jumps forward to a moment in the future where that main character is facing a big challenge. That is a flash-forward, because it quickly takes us forward in time to show us a glimpse of what might happen to that character later on.

Let's say we are writing a story about a group of friends going on a camping trip. In the middle of the story, we might have a flash-forward to a scene where they are having a big party after the camping trip is over. This flash-forward can help us imagine what might happen at the end of the story, even before it really happens.

So, when we talk about a flash-forward, we are talking about a moment in a story or a movie where we skip ahead in time to show something that might happen in the future. It helps us imagine and predict what could occur later on, adding excitement and suspense to the story.
