3️⃣ Short Story

I love visiting cultural and historical sites, but they usually have boundary lines to keep tourists at a safe distance. When I visited Pompeii, I wanted to take a closer look at the wall painting, so I stepped closer to the fresco and took a good, long look. It was the ancient Roman style of painting. Just then, a guard appeared and asked me to back away from the artwork. So I asked if he could lend me his binoculars to examine it more closely. He took them off his neck and handed them to me. Through the lenses, I could see that each symbol on the wall represented something meaningful.  I stared at the ancient artwork in wonder.
