The Can Says Mum

Edinburgh, Scotland

I'm in the illustrious Baguette Stuffed. The guy behind the counter remembered me even though it's been well over a year. My taste-buds are alight with the savoury spice  of green chillies and salt n' vinegar crisps. The Edinburgh streets are slick with rain.
It's so good to be home. 

But if you close your eyes...

Pompei, Italy

Burning, Burning – Everything is on fire.
Ash rains from the sky as the screams from the street slowly die out one by one.
My family, my city – curse the gods.
What did we do to deserve this?
The ash burns my skin.
I'm afraid.
I don't want to die.
