The Volcano That Killed Them Watches

You don't expect the weight of it until you're standing there. Pompeii's streets are eerily intact—wheel ruts still carved in stone, bakeries with ovens that never cooled down properly. But it's when you look up that it hits you. Vesuvius just sits there. Calm. Ordinary. Like it's waiting. Two thousand people saw this exact view on their last morning. They had no idea what was coming. The mountain looked the same as it always had—maybe a little smoky, but nothing alarming. Now tourists take selfies with it in the background. I couldn't shake the feeling that it was still watching. Still capable. The plaques talk about the victims like ancient history, but that thing is very much alive. Some places don't let you forget how fragile everything really is. #PompeiiReality #TravelTruth #HistoryHits #Travel
