Hey SFF friends! Long time no type.

Please give me one or more of the following random bits of information:
-A setting for a story
-A character name
-A genre
-An object
-A situation (e.g. "running from something," "trying to find something").

Your reward may be a short story using your thing. And...GO.

Merci.

Your friendly neighborhood sinister writer person.
 
Setting: Third planet from a distant star, similar to Earth but with slightly less gravity and lower oxygen ratio in atmospheric gases.
Character name: Callista Haven
Genre: Science fantasy
Object: Rock that emits poisonous gases
Situation: Land masses are unstable and prone to sudden shifts, leading to volcanic eruptions and earthquakes/landslips. The settlers are not aware of this and have not planned for it, so they are caught completely unawares when it happens for the first time.

I'm quite tempted to have a go at that one myself! Great game.
