Nice story. Sorry to point this out, but the volcano in Sicily is Etna, not Vesubius. Vesubius is in Naples.
(I know I'm a spoilsport) The story is good, anyway, and it would work perfectly well if transferred to Pompeii, which is just a few miles outside of Naples. (7/10)

- Thanks for the geography lesson, but much of the piece obviously was made up of whole cloth - including place names!
Glad you enjoyed the piece anyway :)

Short but not so sweet for our poor heroine. Another very well written and historically accurate goodie from the fertile mind of the author. (8/10)

- Dear h,
Sorry for the delay, but some things are classic. Thanks for the review.
