Vesuvius Stories

In 79 AD, the eruption of Mount Vesuvius killed thousands of people. It started out as day turning to night. Then a storm of rocks. Soon a place of toxic air. And then a home of death. --- Aquila Hilaris knew something was wrong since the ground beneath her started shaking. She knew that something was wrong when it started raining rocks. She knew something was wrong when the magma came sliding down the cliffs...

This story came to mind when I found out my birthday (Aug. 24th) is on the same day that mt. Vesuvius erupted ... yep

And time witnesses each and every tragedy, every single death. Again and again. Time sees it all, and time cringes at them all with each passing disaster etching a drop of tear apon time....

A document purporting to be a new translation of four of Pliny the Younger’s letters to Tacitus, outlining the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 A.D. and the subsequent banishment of both Plinies, with notes by the translator. This is a submission for the Spring 2013 Historical Fiction smackdown, round 4. The theme this round was ALTERNATE HISTORY, so a big chunk of the described events never happened. PLEASE do not assume that anything you read here is historically accurate – though much of it is, much of it is not! Words: 2830 Time period: Ancient Rome Video Selected: ‘Pompeii’

After Pliny's mother and uncle died tragically following the eruption of the Vesuvius in 79 AD, he's been on his own. One day, as he is walking across the Forum, he bumps into the most famous author of the Roman Empire. It's Tacitus. Tacitus isn't someone you should argue with. He decides what goes down in history, with a single piece of writing, he could ruin your life. He loves the power he possesses and uses it in his advantage. He couldn't possibly be the kind of guy Pliny falls for, right? --------------------------------------------------------- He was walking across the Forum, head facing the cobble stones, when he bumped straight into someone. 'Mind your step,' he said angrily, not wanting to waste any more time. 'You're not supposed to talk to me like that,' an ice-cold voice said, sending shivers down his spine, 'do you have the slightest idea who you're talking to?' It was only at that moment I he looked up and his bright green eyes took him up and down. It was him. The most famous author that could kill your career with his pen.

A 13 year old female slave taking care of upper class children, wishing for a better life.

I wanna hide the truth, I wanna shelter you, but with the beast inside, there's nowhere we can hide... Hesta Precidous lives with hyperthymesia, meaning she remembers every part of her life, including her previous life. She lives with knowledge that no other person alive has. Mount Vesuvius is due to erupt at any moment of any day. How she knows this, she's unaware. In her previous life as Eden Clarus, she remembers everything that happened, especially the pain she suffered when the volcano first erupted almost 2000 years ago. Eden was just 13 years old, living in Pompeii, with her family and friends, completely unaware of what was going to happen. Hesta knows that another certain death awaits her, but when, she'll never know until the moment comes. A story about where the true demons hide in the nature of this world.

Suppose we went back in time, to the moment Vesuvius erupted. What was life like back then? What was life like in Pompeii? What were the people of Pompeii doing, when the mountain erupted? This is the story of one girl who lived in Pompeii. Beautiful cover is by @AverySummers

Pompeii. A wealthy city in Rome known for its fine public buildings and lavish private houses. But like all things, the shines, the bigger shadow it casts. This is the story of those who lived in the shadow, in the dark side of Pompeii. This is a story of slaves and masters and love and disaster. Lord Titus, a wealthy man known well in the city for his greed, cruelty, and keeping of slaves. Magnus was born a slave, had been all his life to Titus, Erasmus a recently sold slave to the cruel lord. These two men found something thought impossible among their fellow slaves; happiness. They found happiness with each other, first as friends, then as lovers. But Titus doesn't want his slaves to be happy, why should they? They have no rights, no freedom, they are worth even less than livestock. Titus decides it's time to put an end to their little fantasy world. He separates the two lovers, but underestimates what it is they are willing to do for each other. The cover art is not mine, all credit goes to the artist. Characters are mine, as is the plot.
