When you have the perfect phrase (and it's one full of energy) and then must tone it down, it feels like tinkering with Creation a bit. "Sorry, volcanoes are a bit too big and hot. Let's modify them and clean up the mess they make." There is always an almost overwhelming temptation to leave things as they are, simply because I need the entertainment of the fallout. I'm glad you posted your volcanoes here. I personally enjoyed them, and agree with them.
