Mars, the Novel by Anonymous 31062

QUESTION: Are we alone in the universe? ANSWER: "Only if you want to be." "Dawn, and you've got clear skies, fifty-two degrees. A perfect day for a launch. Wish we could say the same thing over here, but there's a dust storm brewing in that region of ours you call the Bulge of Tharsis and it's slowly settling into Olympus Mons, filling the quiet crater with tons of fine pink snow. Dust we have plenty of, but you want to know if we've also got water. Water! Yes, there's some water here. Water, water everywhere. But not a drop to spare..." Mars. Earth. Reality.
