Hi there,
Just friendly reminder to make sure you’re writing for the correct prompt…your piece doesn’t respond to the prompt so I’m guessing you mistakenly posted it here. Or you could have misunderstood the prompt, especially if English isn’t first language or you're young and just starting...in case you did mean to respond to the prompt, I'll try to explain why I don't think it responds and why I can't comment on the things you want help with (setting plot and start and end). The prompt asks to write a non linear story about a reunion, let's break it down. First, we have to make sure our story is non linear, or that it doesn't follow chronological order. A lot of times authors use flashbacks in their writing to create a non linear story, with important events or character developments during said flash backs and I think it works well for a story that is concerned with characters and developing them (instead of just getting limited knowledge of how they grew up, we can flash back to any point in their life, like childhood. You'd use non linear writing while. An autobiography could be non linear and quite often they are, with the author skipping around from different points in their life to others, each different time period strung together in the form of memories of the most important times in life (I might start out writing about my current job, how I got it, and that might lead to my education, and then I might talk about graduating college, but I might want to put in a story about my first graduation, back in preschool to contrast the two events (thus making the story have no linear order). If a story is not linear there is no set start, middle, and end but your story follows a clear story line/order - girl falls in love with man, he loves her and life.is good, then comes.the conflict when he leaves, and then the ending which shows the girl lost in life. The plot was underdeveloped and cliche. How can you make it an interesting story that pulls me in rather than writing a short heartbreak anecdote, which this felt more like. Finally you ask about setting, time and place... I assumed the Daisy field was a metaphorical place, she was there in her mind and not literally which is an interesting way to play with setting. The setting is maybe inside the characters mind, it reads more like a stream of consciousness or a diary entry (which is fine, just makes me not 100% sure how to really comment on the setting other than what I just said!). If your not trying to have the field be a metaphor and wanted the girl really in a Daisy field then I would go back to it throughout her musings…like maybe she picks up a flower and picks off the petals to play the “he loves me he loves me not” game or the smell reminds her of the daisies he bought her once…that would be a good way to give the story action rather than all just her thoughts in her mind, and would create strong irony- beauty and color and light all around her while her mind is in an ugly, dark place and this can create conflict for her or resolution, realizing life goes on and there’s still beauty in the world without him perhaps…either way, if you use the setting literally or metaphorically there’s a lot you can do with it and it could create some beautiful imagery and romantic prose. I’m left wondering why and when he left, and I was expecting a reunion between the two because of the prompt so maybe you can add that in and show the resolution when they reunite making the end more satisfying and making it more of an actual story with a clear resolution (which doesn’t have to be a happy ending, of course). You used some nice devices like metaphors/similes and alluding to Ancient Greek mythology to make comparisons- I might make this a poem instead of a story actually because then the lack of a developed plot and start and end doesn’t matter so much and you can keep the “stream of consciousness” style….
