Ask my mom.) So your story sounds that much better now.

What I find fascinating, unlike Pompeii, there were no human remains found. Pots and tools were just abandoned. I think I'll focus on someone who lives in the town, describe how they angered the gods (this is what I have to iron out yet, I'll leaning toward war with Athens), the destruction. Plus, I'll have to figure something out to explain why the lack of human remains. (I'm thinking the gods turned them into mermaids.)<br /><br />Ok, typing this out, I basically do know the entire story. I'm gonna get started on it now!Nicole Zoltackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07464800543376449290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5081887188939480455.post-34759198085839500202010-02-03T13:11:59.765-05:002010-02-03T13:11:59.765-05:00Sounds great!

Mine is based on the dooming of Atlantis, but I'm taking off from Plato's account of Atlantis. The story he told was lost in the middle. I plan to read through it again and pick up from there on what it could say. My planned story is called "The Staff of Zeus."<br /><br />I've always been fascinated by Atlantis. In sixth grade, I wrote a story that combined the Bermuda Triangle, Atlantis, and the Titanic. A few years back, I was going to create a novel with the same short story title about archaeologists finding the lost Plato account and finding the lost city. Plus, I play Age of Mythology (Extended version too), and in the campaigns, the main character is Arkantos, an Atlantian general. In the second campaign, it is about his son, Kastor after the destruction of Atlantis. It's a great computer game. I highly recommend it if you like mythology.Cherie Reichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16663147386014122939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5081887188939480455.post-74493724911674972832010-02-03T11:45:24.043-05:002010-02-03T11:45:24.043-05:00Wow--I'd say you have a great chance.
