RE: Supercell: Historical micro-fiction - The life and death of a storm chaser
You succeeded in making us experience danger without reading it in the story. I have always had mixed feelings for these brave people who chase danger of different kids for the sake of knowledge, science and humanity. Part of me loves them, part of me wants to punch them and send them home to enjoy their family.
We can't help admiring in them what all of us would like to be: Brave in the face of imminent death.
I agree completely. It's hard to understand how someone could be so selfless is one sense, by putting their lives at risk in the name of science, and simultaneously so selfish by putting themselves in peril without regard to the suffering caused to their families. That said, without people like Tim Samaras, a lot of things would never be discovered, and we wouldn't have the data we need for predictive solutions. Also, I am just crazy enough, myself, that I actually get why he was so passionate about being in the vicinity of these massive forces of nature. I am pretty sure I will be a storm chaser in my next life.
Thanks for your great comment, @hlezama!
Hahahaha. Wouldn't it be nice if we could sort of make reservations for what our next life would be like?
It's been great reading you.
Yes! I’d like to place an order, please. Here are my specifications! No I would not like fries with that.
Thank you for the nice compliment!
