Rain was unreliable along the coast. Reservoirs in the hills provided much of the water that the farms needed. There had been quite a bit of rain recently, and the nearest one, that supplied Zavros' farm was full.<br/><br/>A wall of water burst forth, funnelled by the dry riverbed it had once flown along towards Zaval's farm--he could see a tree torn forth and picked up in the torrent. Looking back up, he could see Ganaki's jaw hanging open in disbelief, and Suura with a hand across her mouth, letting out a high-pitched laugh.<br/><br/>He could flee, of course. There was probably enough time to get up the slope. But his parents were just behind him, looking in stunned horror at the onrushing flood.
