Prologue

Ninety miles off the North Carolina coast brewed an intricate organized system of strong thunderstorms. It began as a tropical depression but steadily grew into the adolescent form of a hurricane, known to the world as a tropical storm. This one rested briefly over an isolated section of the Atlantic Ocean, building in strength. The tropical storm’s circulation soon was well defined and the maximum sustained winds moved slowly at 34 to 50 knots towards the coast of one of the small islands that rest along the coast of North Carolina. At this point, the tropical storm was given a name: David.

Author note: I've read in many books about editing that you shouldn't start a story with weather. But I feel that the prologue should introduce the upcoming storm. Later in the novel, you will see why.
