“Pompeii dig reveals ‘almost perfect’ remains of a master and his slave.
Archaeologists have unearthed two exceptionally well-preserved victims of the eruption of Vesuvius in AD79” - says the Guardian, 21 November 2020. 

 

Actually, it was just one archaeologist, and today is her big day. Today she is giving a talk to present her discovery to you all. She is an expert, very talented, and has lots of impressive information to tell you. But she has a vivid imagination, much too vivid for her liking. When her narration gets hijacked, taken over, she is plummeted into her deepest and fiercest pain.
