In Kochi, Japan, the weather is more predictable than the daikaiju attacks but yet Etsuko's father is a weatherman and in addition to predicting the weather, he also gives predictions on possible daikaiju attacks. So when Etsuko, who has never been very popular at school, is finally invited to the outdoor birthday party of one of the most popular kids at school, she is thrilled when her father is able to assure her that the weather for the weekend is blue skies with only a 5% chance of daikaiju attack the day before the party.
Then the skies darken and the sirens go off as they hear the familiar screech split the air.
A well crafted short story of being a child in Japan in the era of Godzilla and his ilk.
