About
EVAN CARTER ASSISTANT MANAGER • DELIVERY DRIVER WHEN NECESSARY • TEMPORALLY MISPLACED Yesterday, Evan Carter was helping run an ordinary modern pizza restaurant. Inventory. Customers. Staffing problems. Dinner rushes. Delivery orders. The sort of problems that seem important right up until you wake up nearly two thousand years before your next scheduled shift. Evan is not a celebrity chef, historian, engineer, survival expert, or walking encyclopedia. What he does know is how a busy pizza shop actually works. Dough has to be ready. Ingredients have to arrive. Orders have to go somewhere. Customers expect what they were promised. And somebody always calls out during the worst possible rush. Then came one delivery shift. One insulated pizza bag. One packet of tomato seeds. One extremely unfortunate encounter with Truck-kun. And suddenly, Rome. Somehow, spoken Latin makes sense. Almost nothing else does. The clothes are wrong. The streets are wrong. The money is wrong. The century is catastrophically wrong. Then a Roman baker named Marcus Valerius Crispus places a piece of flatbread covered in cheese, herbs, oil, and sausage in front of him. Marcus thinks the Muses inspired him. Evan recognizes pizza. That may be the first useful thing either of them has understood all day. Marcus knows Rome. Evan knows pizza shops. Between them, that might be enough to build something remarkable. Or cause a commercial disaster of historically significant proportions. Evan arrives with very little: his delivery uniform, an insulated pizza bag, whatever ordinary items were in his pockets, and tomato seeds intended for a very different garden. Everything else will have to be figured out. Rome has bread. Rome has cheese. Rome has hungry people. Evan has worked a Friday-night dinner rush. History may not be prepared for the consequences.
