The storm postcards started arriving in her mailbox in winter. It was a little amusing then; somebody was sending her mail! How pleasant! But then storm season got closer and it became less entertaining. Was somebody trying to threaten her? Did that make any sense? How could somebody threaten her with storms, that were surely beyond the ability of any person to control. Or was it a warning, saying that she should leave her comfortable Louisiana home and go inland, far from the ability of any storm to reach her. She didn't think that it might have been the equivalent of a personals ad--how should she? She'd signed up for a site or two, yes, that's what one did when one reached a certain age and was still alone, and more than that, wanted not to be. She didn't know what--

Inspiration: A combination of "Another Post Card With Chimpanzees" and the news about tropical storm Gustaf.
Story Potential: High.
Notes: I thought this was going to be boring and then it became a personals ad response and *that* was interesting.
