Anger and fears, sentence 2
Fear shrinks with facts, plans and small steps: counting between the flash and the bang shows how far away a storm is, and a meeting place agreed in advance means you know what to do if you get lost.
Who acts: Fear, counting, storm, meeting place, you · What happens: shrink, count, show, be, agree, mean · To what, where: meeting place, advance · Speech: someone speaks here
