A Catalog of Storms, by Fran Wilde

A Catalog of Storms is nominated for a Nebula this year.  Fran Wilde uses her Bone Universe literary understanding of wind and its emotional content for this story--really it's that understanding boiled down to its essence.  You control storms by naming them, just as you would emotions.  Sacrifice and hope are also here.  A fun little item to read.
