What If You Woke Up in Pompeii the Day Before?

You open your eyes on warm paving stones, with a donkey sniffing your hair. Red and yellow walls, people shouting prices, and at the end of the street a huge green mountain covered in vineyards. It's Pompeii, 79 AD, the day before Vesuvius erupts, and nobody here knows the mountain is a volcano. You can't stop it, because history won't let you. But you know the one thing that decides who lives: leave early. All you have to do is convince a town that thinks the safest place in the world is under its own roof. Would you have stayed under the roof, or walked into the dark?
