ADVENTURES ON THE POMPEII MULTIVERSE
BY MANOFVAULT
AND PETIT_TRIANON
There once was a young adventurer, his dream was to someday
visit the lost city of Pompeii. Well he was on his way, his dream
was about to become a reality.
He starting searching for sales on airplane tickets online, he looked for ships, for a while his luck was dry.
While he couldn’t find a way to Pompeii he kept on reading about it, the books would set his imagination on fire, he needed to visit that wonderful city one day.
So thirty years later he finally made it, he was now an old
adventurer, but the city was even better than he could have ever
imagined. Upon arriving he noticed som e ruins with drawings on
them, but they were not ancient. Someone else was here
recently...
Who was this person that was here, before me? This is what he was thinking, and while he also explored the ruins, he felt this was different than he was expecting.
he expected it to be completely untouched since the day the city
was engulfed in the fiery blast, but he could tell that people had
been here. He thought maybe thieves or pirates, but all the
valuables still seemed to be in place so who else would come
her e?
He, walking through the ruins and seeing the evidences, found out that another explorer went there recently! How exciting to potentially befriend someone with similar interests.
Then he saw someone off in the distance, he looked familiar and
he started to approach him. As he got closer, he stopped, he
suddenly realiz ed who the explorer was. Himself 30 years ago
"But... how... is this possible?" Said the recent explorer, whose name was Phillip Guggenheim.
The young man did not recognize the older one, as his looks had
changed a lot in that time. He looked at the older man and asked
what he was doing here a s he did not think anyone else was
even interested in Pompeii
The older man tells the boy that he is him but in the future, and the younger Philip got really confused, and in the end don't believe in his older self.
The older man then decides to hang out with his younger self, even if he doesnt believe that he is him, Old Guggenheim was curious to know how he went to Pompeii as a young man and couldnt remember.
They ended up exploring the ruins together and were having the
They ended up exploring the ruins together and were having the best times of their lives. He was still confused bubest times of their lives. He was still confused but it was amazing t it was amazing hanging out with some one who had so many similar interestshanging out with some one who had so many similar interests..
"It's becoming less hard to understand why you think I'm you but in the future, Mr. Guggenheim, but I still don't get it your story! How is this even possible?"
"How did you come here? For me, I just bought a ticket after months of saving money and came here"
"Same" repl
"Same" replied the other Phillip. The older Phillip had to be sure ied the other Phillip. The older Phillip had to be sure he wasn't crazy though, so he asked him what year it was.he wasn't crazy though, so he asked him what year it was.
“It’s 2020, Phillip”, said the younger one naturally.
“For me, it’s 2049” said the older Phillip, who ended up fainting for he couldn’t believe what was going on.
Philip wakes up a couple moments later, sitting in a short stone wall, while being taken care of by young Philip.
"I thought I never have visited Pompeii before this point" Said Old Philip, still waking up.
young Phillip told him that he would surely have remembered
young Phillip told him that he would surely have remembered this place so this must be his first time here, older Phillip agreed this place so this must be his first time here, older Phillip agreed and decided they should try and leave and ask someone about and decided they should try and leave and ask someone about thithis. As they started leaving the city though he noticed young s. As they started leaving the city though he noticed young Philip started to disappear, and to young Phillip it was the old Philip started to disappear, and to young Phillip it was the old one disappearing. They rushed back into the city and they could one disappearing. They rushed back into the city and they could see each other easily once again.see each other easily once again.
As they returned, they could see each other once again, both were beginning to understand that both were one, a image of the past and the future together.
Realizing this, they embraced each other crying realizing these was their moment together for the first and last time, the only moment they could hang out together.
They decided to stop crying and get back to adventures. They
They decided to stop crying and get back to adventures. They knew something strange was going on here so maybe they could knew something strange was going on here so maybe they could

“We know what we are now, but not why this is happening, we should take a look on those ruins and see what we can find”
They started to explore the place once more. After a while, they found a projector device unlike none they’ve seen before.
When Old Philip putted his hand into it, Young Philip Disappeared, and for Young Philip the older disappeared, desperate. Old Philip took his hands off the light, and when he did Young Philip Reappeared and vice and versa
They realized this device is what was allowing them to see each
They realized this device is what was allowing them to see each other, but if they interfered with it at all the device would no other, but if they interfered with it at all the device would no longer worklonger work..
“This is, amazing!” Said Old Phillip. “So, who is the true Phillip?”
"I know who I am" Said Old Phillip, "So do I" Said young Philip, "why does it even matter in the end?"
"Why does it matter who is real and who isn't? We are happy and we know who we are, we should enjoy the moment and then bid farewell to each other when the day is over"
they hung out for what se
they hung out for what seemed like a lifetime and yet the sun emed like a lifetime and yet the sun was still high in the sky. How could it still be the middle of the was still high in the sky. How could it still be the middle of the day? Was something else strange going on?day? Was something else strange going on?
They kept on walking in the city and the day didn’t wanted to finish at all, “is that projector in any way interfering in other ways in my life?” Though Old Phillip.
At this point he knew he wasn't dreaming but time was definitely
At this point he knew he wasn't dreaming but time was definitely standing still and he was here with his past self. That projector is standing still and he was here with his past self. That projector is definitely the key to all of this but what if definitely the key to all of this but what if even happening!?even happening!?
"Guess time stand still where we are, because of the projector, but should we care about it now?"
"Yes, I don't think it's affecting others but us, it's pretty fascinating though"
The thing that I don'
The thing that I don't understand is that I never got to visit this t understand is that I never got to visit this place when I was younger. So not only is it manipulating time, place when I was younger. So not only is it manipulating time, but the universe itself. You are me from another universe!but the universe itself. You are me from another universe!
"Maybe I'm seeing you because I desired to come here younger, this can be after all, a machine of reproducing dreams"
Younger Philip just shrugged and said "I guess we will never
Younger Philip just shrugged and said "I guess we will never know for sure what is happening"know for sure what is happening"
"We should just embrace the moment and keep on going! Explore as much as we want and then bid farewell"
They spent their last moments together, and the old Phillip agreed not to tell what would happen to his life to young Phillip, somethings are better when you don't know them
They shared lots of time together exploring the city and it was a
They shared lots of time together exploring the city and it was a better trip than he coubetter trip than he could have ever imagined, but he figured he ld have ever imagined, but he figured he must go back home to his normal life. No one would ever believe must go back home to his normal life. No one would ever believe this tale so he figured he would keep it to himself, and hopefully this tale so he figured he would keep it to himself, and hopefully someday returnsomeday return
The older Phillip saw his younger self fade in a very emotional scene, when he went to the bus it was night now, and there were fireworks in the Sky of Neapolis
THE END.
