Tantz's clever idea was that the weather isn't just a backdrop… it's an important prop in it's own right.
Weather can be used ...

Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Aug. 10, 2019
So the weather is very important. We all know that from our real life routine alone.

The Mysterious Stranger
This is about ‘the mysterious stranger’ in fiction. Well, one of the variations of that, at least. I'm not talking about the mysterious stranger who becomes the MC's lover in a romance novel, or the mysterious stranger who knocks on the door or gets into ...
