@Gaius_Pansa I'm journeying as far as I can from the belching mountain. The Gods have not helped us @HEATT2016 nitter.gq/gaius_pansa/status/768…
The sky is still dark and full of ash! I can't find any fresh air! #HELP #imdyinghere

Breathing is becoming harder and harder. My throat's coarse from the hot air and ash. I feel weaker and weaker. I need posca now!

I fear your uncle may not make it the winds are too strong, his ship is unable to depart and he is not looking well
#Pompeii16 Secunda Many citizens of Pompeii have surely been buried alive. I do wonder who else might have escaped… #safetyinnumbers

#Pompeii16 Secunda I have still received no word of my uncle’s fate; no replies to my messages. I can only pray that someone may know …

#Pompeii16 Prima We must flee Misenum. I wonder if people are still risking their lives to collect treasured possessions? What will be lost?

@HEATT2016 People lie on the roadside gasping for air or weak with exhaustion. Many are dead and covered in ash. Where are the gods?

@HEATT2016 Pompeii looks quite buried by the debris from Vesuvius. The air is still thick with ash and pumice. One slave has died already.

@HEATT2016 From the hills I can see Pompeii in ruins. The sea is as black as ink. The ground is thick with ash and pumice. Vesuvius rumbles.

Falling, crying, bleeding, a women tugs on my sleeve. She is hopeless, and I cannot save her. "Auxilium," she cried. #Pompeii16 @HEATT2016
