HURRICANE!
by Arnaldo Ricciulli
“Black clouds filled the eastern sky, and that made Daniel smile; a storm was coming. He stood out on a small promontory at the end of the island and took another reading from his wind gauge. Sixty miles per hour. He frowned, not even category 1 strength. All around him was the bounty of nature—palm trees, shrubs, and what have you. He wasn’t a botanist, so he had no idea what some of the others were, and he didn’t care. No, his focus was the storm that was fast approaching.”
