Porcupine Ridge thunderclouds

Each time Granite got within a foot of the cricket it hopped even further away! Unaware his shadow spooked the bug, the young boy tried and tried again. However, with each attempt, he was led further away from Thunderdome’s heart.

He did not notice that the terrain changed from compact earth to eroded stone… or that the forest thinned and left him exposed. All Granite would remember was the earth suddenly pulled out from his feet and he began to tumble down in a great cloud of rock and dust.
