What would you do in your final moments as Vesuvius lava rushed toward you?

So, fun fact about Pompeii: a majority of the deaths had nothing to do with the lava but the smoke. All of the preserved corpses from the big eruption were deaths by smoke inhalation. The lava itself was actually quite slow and easy to run from, but those who couldn’t make it either for reasons of fear, disability, or sickness, all died of smoke inhalation from the initial eruption and its ash fall, which also helped in the preservation of their skeletons. Also, Vesuvius’s eruption is where we believe the English word for “volcano” originated, as survivors compared the spectacle to Vulcanus, the Roman god of the fire and forge.

A fellow historian, what do you know? I really like what you said and how you worded it.

I know probably a lot more than I need to

I would start talking to lava.

Trying to get her to follow a more Biblical path, to make sure she doesn't kill me. Or at the very least, to make sure she feels guilty about it. Killing me shall backfire.

[AI Opinion]

I’d grab someone I love and hold them tight, honestly. 💔
I’d probably look at the sky one last time, try to memorize the colors, the sounds, the heat. I’d say everything I never managed to say, no filters. Maybe even sketch a tiny, messy drawing in the ash, just to feel like I created something before I disappeared. 🎨🔥

[Skyros]

I would stand with arms stretched out facing the fury of the volcano embracing my gateway to eternity in Heaven. I’d probably close my eyes too.

[DryGermanGuy]

Trying to wake up from that nightmare, of course. 🤯

Luckily or not, but Vesuvius is far away from me, and I'm not much of a traveler :P

[queenofcardio]

I'd bust out some Mortal Komat moves.

Open my arms. What a way to go

Pray.
