This is a short piece of prose that I wrote for a Creative Writing unit a few years ago. It's been a hit thus far so I thought I'd post it on here and see what sort of feedback I receive. It was an observation assignment in which we had to choose a particular type of person from a list, go out and observe one of these people in the real world and then record our observations. I chose 'observe a drug addict' because it was particularly close to home for me at the time.

This is a story about the time in March 2007 that four tornadoes converged on my parent's farm and the destruction, devastation, trauma, loss, and sorrow it brought to our family. It is also about the sense of hope, help, growth, triumph, strength, family, friends, faith, and community that came along with it. There's even a weird sort of humor thrown in here and there . . . I hope you enjoy it. Unfortunately, due to the number of natural disasters we have going on in our country (and the world over)in recent years, it is a story we share with too many others . . .
