Review: Tornado - Wichita Falls 1979 by Daniel Lance Wright
While this was not my first time reading a short story, this was my first time accepting one for review purposes. I do enjoy reading short stories simply because I think they showcase writing talents. My personal definition of short story is 1000 words or less, and if a writer can convey a gripping message and(or) tale in that word span then I think it says a lot about the efficiency and quality of the work.
An initial quick glance over the first page of Tornado: Wichita Falls 1979 by Daniel Lance Wright was all I needed to know that this would be a story worth reading and writing my thoughts on.
The beautiful descriptions create a wonderful imagery for the reader and the writing style captivated me from the beginning. It starts by drawing this picture of a breathtaking pristine landsTerrible Tuesday" or Wichita Falls tornado for descriptive accounts).

Daniel writes this story in such a way that make you feel like you are right in the middle of the action and evokes a certain fear that leaves you wondering. Wondering what it really would be like to experience something that powerful. Wondering what you would do in that situation. Wondering how people survive those situations. And leaves you thanking whatever it is that you believe in that you have either not experienced something like that or if you have, that you made it out.
This was a great piece to read and I would highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys engaging and descriptive accounts of events.
