Prompts = Storm, Tease, Restrict
Story 1 — Red In The Morning
‘There’s a storm coming; “Red in the morning, sailor’s warning.”’
‘I think you forgot “sky”. “Red sky in the morning, sailor’s warning.”’
‘No, I’m pretty sure I’m right. I saw red this morning, so I dressed for rain.’
‘An umbrella wasn’t sufficient? Did you really need to wear a bright yellow rain suit, with hat and boots?’
‘The saying doesn’t specify the size of the storm. I figured better safe than sorry.’
‘You don’t mind the teasing?’
‘I mind. But I won’t restrict my daily routine to what is acceptable to ignorant high schoolers. Besides, they’re going to get soaked.’

‘Thank you, Torrential Downpour. First off, I want to assure you we’ll make sure everything gets a good soaking today. You lesser Rains be sure to tease out every last drop you carry. Nature herself has specifically asked for us to work with the Winds, Clouds, Thunders, and Lightenings. Behave yourselves. Remember — you’re Rains!
‘Now, refer to the map…’
