Too American 😞
Well crafted.
I like the subtle critique of the human tendency towards division even when faced with an unambiguous, shared threat.
The phrase “folks in the dark” offers countless meanings. Another powerful sentence.
Love “shaped like a kicked in door” — powerful image!
Me too wow “shaped like a kicked in door” dang!!!!
Incredible word choices.
Yes!
Of all the ones without the train I think this one is tops.
Wow. Pam, I just realized that these sentences are horizontal haikus, with 17 syllables. That’s like a 🤯 moment for me, revealing more of your craft.
When I arrange this one into the traditional form, it adds more meaning for me.
The storm stomped warning,
shaped like a kicked in door, folks

I will go back to see if that’s true for the earlier ones as well, which I haven’t read, but will.
I love the surprise ending in this one – both in tone and meaning.
