A Day in Paradise

   In the middle of the street, steam burst skyward, rattling the manhole cover, whistling like a kettle.  The people on the sidewalks and in the bumper to bumper traffic looked around, hoping someone would answer their question: what is going on?
   A jogger slowed to a stop, took out his earbud, and leaned toward a woman in a black two-piece suit.  "Is that sulfer--?"
   No one expected lava.
