This is an amazing story. It just builds and builds until the end, and Lorna's voice is fantastic.
for once, for that evening, Lorna was happy not to think about the seismic shifts going on deep in the Earth, or about that inescapable future day when the mountain would explode and rain fire and hot ash down on everyone who loved it.
This was almost a gut punch of an ending, absolutely powerful and absolutely perfect.
