"Under the Dome" is a TV show about a town which is mysteriously cut off from the rest of the world by an invisible barrier in the shape of a dome which has descended over the town. When the dome descended on the town, anything on the dome's edge/perimeter was cut in two. The dome's edge happened to descend on a house, slicing the house in half. Had the lady been standing on the dividing line, she would have been cut in two....
Which is the best way to say this:
When the dome descended on the town, anything on/at the dome's edge/perimeter was cut in two.
Had the lady been standing on/at the dividing line, she would have been cut in two....
Do you think another word works better than at or on?
Would you choose perimeter or edge?
Thanks
