79 AD
Stop the go
with a bang and a boom
all life ceases
with a shower of fire
fallen ash so thick
no more breathing,
and the light
swallowed by the darkness
scattered bones
burnt into time
frozen in step
faces of terror
every day joy
fire and rock
stone and ash
burned and buried
with a bang and a boom.

And history is made. Interesting read Hashman. :) Sounds more like After the New Millennium though.

a place to avoid, although

just to see it...

The interesting fact on this date 79Ad on august 24th is that the eruptive gases were 100x more powerful than Hiroshima bombings.
Thanks Mr. Hash for taking us back into history with this piece.

Having in mind what Pliny the Younger wrote about the event, this is a refreshing, short version... Well done! :-)

Thanks, Hash, for reminding us of the catastrophe of 79 AD. So many deads, so much sorrow. I'm thinking of Iceland right now ...

For some reason this made me think of the Star Trek movie, "The Search For Spock", especially those parts where the crew is dealing a younger Spock while his memories are inside McCoy.
Very intriguing write!
