Did I properly use the transitional markers, the time elements, in the following sentences? I wonder: Are there really such expressions as a few weeks later and a year later? Are these expressions synonymous to after a few weeks and after a year, respectively? Please enlighten me.
That night, Sean found himself smoking weed just like the actor in the movie he had seen. After a few minutes, he felt a little dizzy. Then he felt as if he were floating high. For a few hours, he laughed, although there was nothing to laugh at. For days, he smoked grass. A few weeks later, he killed some people he hated. After a few months, he murdered more and more people. A year later, he massacred his own family.
