The year is 536 AD. The sky is gray, the crops are dead, and the sun has vanished behind a veil of ash. You are not a king, a prophet, or a warrior. You're just a hungry, forgotten villager trying to outlast a year that never ends — a year many historians call the worst in human history.

In this immersive, sleep-friendly historical nightmare, you’ll experience the slow unraveling of a world buried in volcanic fog, famine, disease, and silence. No romanticism. No chosen ones. Just ash in your lungs and rot in your cellar.

Told in the second person, with calm, bitter narration and dry historical accuracy, this video is perfect for listeners who enjoy falling asleep to quiet despair and forgotten catastrophes.
