Volcanic Emission


From deep beneath the crust it seeped upwards, slipping into crevasses, joining together into rivers of searing heat ever seeking a way to advance.  For thousands of years it waited, buried beneath rocks and soil, smothered by unbearable pressure, sending its tendrils forth.

The ground shook with the fury of breaking free; streams of molten rocks were flung outward lighting up the sky.  A fierce breath of wind rushed down the hillside leveling everything it touched.

A roar of freedom heralded the arrival of magma as it burst over the rim of the volcano, escaping the grip of the earth.
