Warm Winter


Pterodactyls circle, smothered by the steamy mist evaporating from the molten lava below. Rocks heat and cool simultaneously, smoke burns and water becomes a sizzling gas in a split second. Where it can be, the water is calm, cooler but definitely not cold even in the midst of this searing winter.

Soon, very soon, the volcanic winter will be no more, replaced by an even hotter summer. Just as volcanic, potent and steamy, only with added sunshine.

Well, one must always look on the bright side of things.

I needed a break from the norm this evening, whatever that is.

    Actually this is supposed to be a warm winter thank God…Massive el nino means a warmer winter. For where we are anyway. So thankful for that after last years horrors…Have you trained the Pterodactyls yet to let you ride them? They could be a good way for you to get free of winter should it prove nasty. Wherever that is it looks warm for sure. Down right hot actually! You could practice like in the movie Avatar….grab a bridle and jump on ! VK

      Apparently, we’re in for a COLD winter, VK. That El Nino has a lot to answer for.
      I haven’t caught a pterodactyl yet, however… mind you, I’m still trying to catch a dragon as well. Keep on keeping on, and all that!

    You’re definitely looking on the bright side! I understand there’s meant to be snow and temperatures dropping to as low as -20 degrees C beginning of next month! Coldest winter in 50 years is set to descend on us! And all those migrants think this is the place to come to?!!! Something tells me they’ll be very disgruntled migrants and there maybe a few lava flows of the angry explosive kind!! 🙂

      Aye, Icewolf.
      Although I don’t think they’re coming here for the weather… I don’t think tourists do that either, thinking about it…
