A story popped into my head.

In the shadowy east of Bozeman town, the mountains loomed like a gang of brooding giants, laying in ambush for the unsuspecting sunrise. Scaling them was no less a trip than slipping into a wedding gown for a wild, unhinged frontiersman's ball - a ball that's one part celebration, two parts madness. But then, out of nowhere, like a bad trip turning worse, comes this battle cry, this monstrous tidal wave, a psychedelic nightmare hell-bent on swallowing the mountains, hills, and every last soul. It was pure, unadulterated chaos, a spectacle of nature's raw, unforgiving power, under the wide and wild Montana skies.

Terrifying and almost mythical. My great imagined fear when I was small were tidal waves .
