Today’s random word is: tremble

It was her first day on the job in Panguna, the mountains of Bougainville Island in PNG.

Julia had taken her students out for sport, when suddenly she felt it, a small tremble at first, getting a little more obvious.

She blew her whistle, calling her children to attention.
