you know how in some books, after being introduced to the protagonist, the author seems to just skim entire years of the character's life into one paragraph. all the things that happened in those years are summarized in about 4 sentences. and then "all of a sudden" or "before i knew it" or "the next thing i knew", something happens, and the story continues from there. and most likely, you realize in the last chapter, that something, was a pivotal moment to the rest of the story.
i've summarized 24 years in 4 sentences. and i wait for the story to continue.
ok ok i cheated cause i was not in a clever mode i typed one of those phrase and this is what i continue with (google)
I rushed to the grass and the next thing I knew I was peeing gallons. After a few minutes, everything stopped so I went back indoors. I felt fine but my tummy was making the most incredible sounds so I thought I'd find someplace cozy to sleep off the ravages of whatever I'd eaten last night.
