Stories: Shelter
"I'm not so certain the world's going to end any more."Summary
After a small north Texas town is largely demolished by a freak January tornado, its victims collect in a Red Cross shelter. Although national events are the last thing on the refugees' minds, they wake up the next morning to news no one can ignore ... news that truly hits home when a werewolf joins them.
