I was confused by Hurricane David becoming Arthur.

Loved the lines about metaphor.

I counted, this was indeed 1000 words (1001 words if you count the numbers, but I don't think they were supposed to be included in the word count) loved the accuracy and post, the sense of humour was refreshing.

Love this: Metaphor is the hand thrust into the water, trying to catch living fish. Metaphor is the passageway between fantasy and logic, the doorway through the images. Metaphor can take you someplace new.

Great read! Made me laugh. Love your writing, as you know! But am I missing something: why did the hurricane change names?

I love the way you move the reader through the movement of the hurricane. It builds with suspense and then you pull the hat trick by telling us the story was exactly 1,000 words.

Didn’t see that coming. I loved it - definitely some way my mind would work. Creative writing while holding the science (maths) in focus. Cool.
