Pompeii

I knew what would happen on August 24, 79 C.E.

The only thing I would do is watch the longest survivors' world become preserved under ash and come to take them away. The all I had to be was patient but while I wait I will go elsewhere, some place I am needed but I will return to Pompeii.

As I arrive back to Pompeii, Mount Vesuvius was in the process of exploding already. " What is happening to the mountain?" questioned a woman. " I am sure it will fade away," replied her companion. Little did they know it would not.

Soon the whole sky is blanketed in darkness, not the clear darkness of night but, a murky darkness. All of the people have hidden themselves away but their little houses would not hide them for what is to come. None of them notice me for I am unnoticeable for most who roam the earth.

The mountain shakes the ground and I could hear all of the people scurrying to the safest place in their homes. I see many people running to the exit of the village but they are too late. A cloud of dust and murky darkness engulf the village of Pompeii.

By time it is over the city of Pompeii is dead silent. The once proud city of Pompeii is completely preserved under the ash. I was here all along and it is time for me to bring the people with me, I am Death its self.
