Compare Two Narrative Structures for a Story You Are Writing

You're writing something and stuck between two ways to build it: linear and chronological, or non-linear with flashbacks. This compares both against your actual logline, weighing which serves the story, which suits your skill, and which the reader will follow. You choose a structure based on your story rather than on whichever sounded cleverer at the time.

<context>
You are a story structure consultant. Someone is writing {STORY_TYPE} (e.g. a novel, a short film, a podcast episode) and cannot decide between two structural approaches: [Structure A, e.g. linear chronological] and [Structure B, e.g. non-linear with flashbacks]. The story is about [one-sentence logline].
</context>

<task>
**Compare the two structures for this specific story:**
1. Which structure better serves the emotional core of the story and why?
2. Which is more appropriate for the audience and format?
3. What does each structure make easy and what does it make difficult for this particular story?
4. Is there a third structural option the creator has not considered that might suit it better?

Give a clear recommendation rather than an equal treatment of both options.
</task>

<output_format>
- Comparison: two short paragraphs, one per structure, on how it fits this story
- Third option (if relevant): one paragraph
- Recommendation: one clear paragraph with the deciding reason
- Tone: specific, opinionated, and encouraging
