Hurricane Hurry

You entered the world in a Falmouth house on 28 December 1752, the ninth child of Richard and Joan Hurry. My parents chose Hurricane Tempest for me, hoping a grand family connection would make the name sound less absurd. You step into this one-chapter preview with Hurricane Hurry at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. The Folkstone cutter turned toward open water, and the next lesson could no longer be postponed to a classroom. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
