I'm writing a cyberpunk novel that takes place in 2090. I have 2 times lines one present day and one a few weeks before (past). I want to write mostly in past tense in a flashback and switch to present tense after a major event that happened a few weeks after the flashback begins. I don't want to state the exact date of that event to create suspense. So right now I start the book with :
Present day
“Good people don’t kill,” I say.
*
Past
Maybe selling drugs wasn’t such a good idea after all. Funny how having the Lizard's gang hang you upside down makes you rethink certain decisions. I kept wiggling my wrist and feet to loosen the rope.
Present day, isn't exactly present day given that the story takes place in 2090 and "past" seem vague...
Any other suggestions of heading?
