The Gentle Typhoon [Weekly Short-Short Note]

“Yes, we have breaking news. A typhoon has just formed near Guam, off the coast of the Philippines. This typhoon is called the 'Gentle Typhoon,' and it is a typhoon that people have been eagerly awaiting to make landfall. It is highly likely to hit Japan. Everyone, please prepare yourselves.”
The elderly couple in the living room watching the news nearly dropped their chopsticks in surprise.
“Old woman, it’s like a dream to be able to experience this while we’re still alive.”
“Yes, and to be with you, old man, I can hardly believe it.”
News of the Gentle Typhoon spread across Japan in an instant, and schools held discussions about temporary closures.
It had been about a hundred years since the day the Gentle Typhoon last made landfall in Japan, and it is still talked about to this day—
the air was crystal clear, the sky was blue as far as the eye could see, and a dazzling shower of light poured down.
People didn’t want to work on such a once-in-a-lifetime lucky day.
People quietly waited for that moment with their families.
Everything in Japan came to a halt, and the sky above was perfectly clear, without a speck of dust. The night sky was filled with stars.

Everyone savored what true happiness meant.
“The Gentle Typhoon”—it would be nice to have a day like this every now and then.
World, stop!
