Direct Hit

Direct Hit

by Aimee Nicole

As we enter hurricane season, the first storm barrels towards us. Rhode Islanders clearshelves of milk, bread, and eggs. How they plan to prepare a dozeneggs once the power sputters out,no once can answer me. I sit calmly with electronics drained—so many years spent limbs flailing and debris blurring vision trying to feel my way towards safehaven center. I’m here to report that no amount of preparation can save your body from the impending destructioncaused by a direct hit.
