I'm guessing that the shock waves caused by the volcano, rippling thru the water, would cause the water on the beach to recede as the radiating waves moved away from the island. Eventually, there will be a surge water back to the beach.
When it came to the "Eric, Language!", my first thought was someone has stolen a line from another story where it gets used a lot, only with a differnt name, of course.
Cliffhanger free? Not that I noticed.
Based on the nominations posted publicly, here's who's been nominated so far.
Shadowgod
CJames
dkstories
Graeme
Dom Luka
At this point, there is only one person officially who knows if Krista has been nominated and how many times. And she won't be telling the rest of the team until after the nominations close on the 25th.
I'd like to add, the nominee list can consist of three to five names. This allows for any ties between nominee's.
If you guys are going by the nominations being posted publicly, YOU'RE not getting the full count. Members of the WST do not post their pick publicly, We do it by PM to Sharon.
Chapter 21 - Surprises- has been posted.
Time to go read.
This chapter lives up to it's title. I have to admit, I didn't see Eric's offer coming. Although, I do think Eric has at least one semi-surprise up his sleeve.
And way to go Jane.
