    "Rogue Wave" by Boyd Morrison. It is about a huge tsunami that hits Hawaii, caused by an asteroid hitting the ocean.

    "Seattle Quake 9.2" by Marti Talbot. From the title, it is obvious what it is about.

    After reading both of these, I really needed something fun to read.

      Long before you and I were born, others beat these benches with their empty cups,
      To the night and its stars, to the here and now with who we are.

      Another sunrise with my sad captains, with who I choose to lose my mind,
      And if it's all we only pass this way but once, what a perfect waste of time.
