Bear in mind that rubble bounces and debris can be flung with great velocity.  It doesn't come crashing down into a neat pile.  Things bounce off the pile as it's forming.
Oh, and the floor will shake, and get cracked into slabs.  I don't know what it rests on.  If it rests on earth, the slabs may tilt a little or a lot.  If there's structure beneath, some of it will probably collapse.
I'll discourse on the physics if you like.

I've got outline material for about two thirds of Prelude to SP: Kirsey.  I found myself filling in a later chapter (or maybe several) dealing with Caneth, Melayne, and friends leaving the Academy.  It has a certain slapstick quality and I'm wrassling it into a second draft.  Again beginning in the (late) middle, I hope to have it up in 60 hours.  It's also the beginning of the end for Kirsey's career at the Academy.

These parts all belong to one book, and probably one of moderate size.  A prequel of sorts, it traces the youth of the super-sorcerer Kirsey.  Maybe as far as taking up with the wolves, maybe not.  I'll see how many I can construct.  Actually, when I get to the actual text I'd love you to review it.  At which time you can point to placed to recip.

I took a look at your chapter and have some thoughts.  I'll try to do a review today or tomorrow, maybe one of each kind, for different issues.  I'm not hurting for points but if I were I'd look for stories that would earn them on reviews.

What demon?  Does a demon come into existence at conception, or does a demon already in existence take up residence?  In Larry Corriea's Monster Hunter universe, demons take over when someone succeeds in animating dead human flesh.  Risk of a spoiler:

The Frankenstein myth gets invoked.

The sentence doesn't reinforce the PoV, but it doesn't contradict it.
As to holding info back: mystery writers do it all the time.
