If you end a chapter or section with a flashback, be sure to close it out properly so you take the reader back to the present. Otherwise, they might be lost if the story returns to its normal time frame in the next scene. Remember that readers often stop reading at the end of a chapter or scene. By the time they pick up the story again, they may have forgotten what had just happened and, without a clear transition, wonder what they missed.
