Redhawk Caldera haunted

Shit, he had forgotten how thick kids can be. "Uhh.. like... the mountain top? The peak? The peak exploded. Like, it blew apart into a million teeny-tiny pieces. Boom." Dash's brow furrowed in an uncharacteristic display of thoughtfulness. Staring at the lake a little longer, understanding settled upon him. He continued with more confidence, "The top exploded off, and then it left that huge-ass hole, and the rain filled it up. So now it's a lake." 

"No.." Dash blinked. Like he would be caught dead on a mountain that was about to explode. He took in a deep breath, figuring he would need to explain the exploding mountain thing a little more. "Okay so like.. sometimes mountains catch on fire, but not on the surface. Like the fire starts waaay deep inside the belly of the mountain. And-- have you seen a fire before?-- 'Cause anyone whose seen a fire knows that fire likes to grow and spread out. Except there's nowhere for fire to spread inside a mountain. So when it gets to the point where there's so much fire the mountain can't hold it, it explodes out the top. Boom." 

The words had flowed easily enough, but Dash couldn't remember for sure if that was how the exploding mountain thing really worked. Oh well. It was probably close enough.
