Same Same But Different

Prompts = Mount, Treachery, Pill

A day in the life of an ancient Chinese city, frozen in time by ash in much the same way Pompeii was preserved by Mount Vesuvius. And the daily life of the modern city built on top of the volcanic effusion:

A woman takes two pills over an apothecary selling herbs for a pain-relieving tea.

A pickpocket reaches for a coin purse under a mugger eyeing his next victim.

Newlyweds embrace, people labour, shops sell, freight moves, the hustle and bustle of a city, the sights, sounds, and smells of then and now, so similar and yet so different.
