The odd pattern in the rock formations didn’t make any sense to the geologist. She had seen plenty of strange things in her line of work, but this was something different. She couldn’t quite put her finger on it, but there was definitely something off about these rocks.

She took some samples back to her lab and ran some tests, but still couldn’t figure it out. The more she stared at the data, the more convinced she became that something strange was going on here.

She decided to mention it to her boss, who was also a geologist. He was immediately interested and together they began to investigate.

They discovered that the rocks had been formed by a long-forgotten volcanoe that had been dormant for centuries. But recently, something had awoken it and it had begun to erupt.

The geologists were able to warn the people in the area and everyone was evacuated just in time. It was a close call, but thanks to their quick thinking, everyone was safe.
