It sounds like a good beginning. I encourage you to tighten the timeline up a bit. Tornados come and go quickly; however, it seems like an eternity while you're in one. I would try some things like describing the wind taking your breath, or feeling the pressure, the force, your ears popping--these glimpses will help to bring the reader into your experience. Things leading up to the tornado and following the tornado may seem very fast (I marveled at the wife's ability to fall asleep so quickly), but slowing the action down in the middle will give the reader a better view of the action as well as the character. I thank you for sharing this chapter. |
