After a bit of mulling, I think it's because 'fell' (down) contrasts with 'erupted' (up) even though I doubt I could come up with this if I were writing it.
Re-reading Tainted Cup and noticed something interesting - I can't recall dawn ever 'falling' before, it's always risen.
Read this last night and still mulling it over.

Found this old magazine interview with Cocteau Twins, circa Blue Bell Knoll, by Paul Trynka. International Musician & Recording World Nov 88.
If anyone wants to know some of the tech they used, it's in there.

Just picked this up, as it's set in Washington, and I loved HEX.
Days are definitely darker here now. Hard to get out of bed when it's still pitch black.

Look what just arrived! The latest novel by Thomas Olde Heuvelt. I can't wait to dive in. (Also, I've been told that I *may* be a character in the book. I hope I don't come to an unfortunate end 🙃).

AI nightmare.
This woman is in a nursing program & the entire textbook for her anatomy class is wrong because it was written by a professor who used chatgpt to generate the images & possibly the text. She complained to the prof, then the university— they’ve done NOTHING about it.
