the beginning or ending of a chapter?:

 

"He was back in his black realm. The sound of gunshots was everywhere. He could hear the bullets. Popping out of the barrels, whizzing past his head. The black battlefield was illuminated by their ambient sound. But, there was still nothing around. Then, out of the blackness, he could make out a single bullet. All the other sounds vanished, like the wind blowing away dust. This timeless zone held its breath, as time seemed to stop and Jason realized the bullet was still closer now. Hurtling right at him."

 

What do you think it'd be better as? (I know it's just a paragraph, so if either, I'd have to add a little bit more)

Depends on if you want the chapter to end with susspence or not.

The beginning. It pulls you in immediately and that's exactly what you need to keep people interested.

I agree with eentje. It should begin at the start of the story, like a foreshadowing paragraph you know? It would fit and execute its use well if you start with it at the beginning. Then, you can go on and add more to the story, like the background info. Usually paragraphs like that, begin the building blocks of the story. After reading that, I wonder what the person has been through to deserve that kind of experience.

 

Edit: I think this would belong in the Writing category...

Dx this doesn't help, as I've also had plenty of people say it'd be best as the end of a chapter.....I might use it as a beginning though because, me being the fail writer I am has no real plan....I don't plan each chapter, I just write it...so beginning might be good
