Blind Thrust Fault Novels & Stories

Lorenzo asked in one breath. "I-I do but Lorenzo you have to understand. I-I don't want to pass on these messed up genes to a poor innocent child. I c-can't." Bonnie whispered. "Bonnie-" he cupped her face. "-it's not your fault, okay. It's not your fault that you're like this. You're beautiful just the way you are. If the baby is also blind, I'll love you both so much. So much." Bonnie lowered her head, resting her head on Lorenzo's chest. She slowly nodded mumbling a small 'okay'

Leon finally said, and threw a pillow at Jack’s face. “Blunt Pain is the new hot in the music world. Lead singer, Axl Reynolds, gave a stunning performance in Los Angeles. The melody was soulful, the lyrics, although melancholic, made young girls all wish they were that missing piece. We hope to see great things from this new band, and might I add, the members are all kinds of eye candy. Blunt Pain was formed by Calum Phillips, and hosts Axl Reynolds as the lead singer, guitarist, and sometime pianist. Jack Graff is their drummer, and boy does he know how to work those sticks. Rihon McTavish adds another flair, with backup vocals and bass guitar; leaving Leon Miller with the rhythm guitar. M

Kate looked up, feeling intimidated by the tall, steep, and jagged cliffs that rose above her end and stretched for miles without an end in sight. She looked at her brother who was still a bit ruffled from his encounter with not one but two wolf-shifters. "Will we really be safe here?" He asked and Kate smiled, although he couldn't see it, before saying reassuringly, "We'll be sleeping in the quiet cavern. The only way in is the small crack that's just barely big enough for us. Wolves no matter their size wouldn't be able to fit in." Her brother only nodded before following a small stream that led to a crack in the great stone wall that was the cliffs. Kate followed suit and the two fox shif

"I'm verifying before I say it." Dunmore looked at the boy with his hand on a wall. Then at Xander. Then he decided not to say whatever he'd been going to say, which was the right call. Another minute. Then Silas took his hand off the wall and turned. "There's a fault line," he said. "Natural. The mining surveys didn't map it because it doesn't have ore concentration — it's mostly compressed shale and it runs deep, which makes it structurally unremarkable from a mining perspective." He looked at the floor. "It runs northwest. Under the Blackwood boundary and about four kilometers into the independent territory beyond it."

“Some of it, sir. On the flight.” “The primary geological survey is flawed,” Brian stated, tapping a spot on the map. “Their core samples are too shallow. They’re missing a significant sediment layer that could contain unstable methane hydrates. Drilling there, as planned, would be like building on quicksand.” Davidson took over, his engineer's mind instantly kicking in, setting aside his personal frustration. He ran a sweep with the map, the target drill sites. "The pressure readings in the general area support that," he marked, following a line of points. "There's a small but consistent anomaly. Everyone's been putting it down as equipment failure."

—a low, rhythmic thrumming that rattled the teeth of the newly-freed citizens. "It’s not an earthquake," Vara signaled, her obsidian hand pressed against a steaming fissure. "It’s a Pneumatic Build-up. The Syndicate's old geothermal shafts were designed to be secondary vents, but they’ve been sealed by Auditor-crystal for decades. If we don't open them, the entire tectonic plate will 'burp.' And when this plate burps, the Nightfang Valley becomes a caldera." The Physics of the Over-Pressurized Vessel

Her family was in the Southern Wastes and the Southern Wastes fault had been one of the first three to close and she had been carrying the weight of knowing that since the breach appeared there days ago and the sound she made was the sound of setting something very heavy down after carrying it too long. "Four," Storm said. "Yes," Eldric said. He paused. I knew that pause. It was the pause he had when the next thing he was going to say was not going to be easy and he was choosing how to say it. "The fifth fault line," he said. "The northern site. The original location of the Shadow Beyond's first attempt thousands of years ago. It is the largest. It is the oldest. The resonance pressure we ar

"They were the anchors. The ancient titan you dropped into the subterranean sea was the final counter-weight holding the Southern Fault in place. For three centuries, the Council's siphon kept its heart beating just enough to lock the tectonic deep." A sudden, deep shudder ran through the ground beneath us. It wasn't the vertical heave of the Citadel's foundation, nor was it the mechanical grinding of brass gears. It was a slow, rolling wave that originated dozens of miles to the south, deep within the Ironwood Basin. Far across the distant horizon, beyond the blackening pine canopy, a massive plume of black ash and superheated steam erupted into the pale gray sky, tearing through the cloud

The rooms' soundproofing system was, unfortunately, incredible, so screams couldn't be heard. I could see how smug the man was, and I realized why my colleague sounded so weird on the phone just now. So, they knew I would run into something like this. Unbound fury filled my veins. The man was as fat as a pig. I grabbed whatever I could get my hands on and smashed the man with it. I didn't care about losing this job or getting found out I was faking my blindness.

What are you talking about? Thorne mocked his daughter, claiming she possessed intelligence but lacked any ability to analyze situations. She understood that any surface blast would never create fissures through those titanium vault doors. The C-4 demolition device existed to destroy the primary seismic fault line which lay buried deep beneath the Moonfall mountains. Dante experienced sudden terrifying cold.
