Here’s a short story and I’m going for Civilization VI. XD
THE MARS DIARIES…WELL, SORT OF…DOOMED ONES
It’s been a long time since we came to Mars.
I can’t remember the exact date, but I know it was a long time ago.
Let me tell you about…Wait…Damn I just forgot what I was about to tell you.
Oh well, let me read for you some parts from the diary I found on Mars back in the days.
Hmmph…where is it?
Ahh there it is.
Let’s see:
Entry 1:
First day on this planet. It looks so beautiful, red and barren. I could live here.
I hope that I’ll succeed in my anger management. My therapist was right for sending me here.
Entry 2:
While I was exploring I saw some little guys building a base of some sort. I must admit, that’s one ackward looking base.
Entry 3:
Being curious as I am always, I decided to contact them, but it looks like they’ve already gone.
I knew I should woke up earlier. Well OK. Maybe next time.
Entry 4:
After a long time I noticed the same people arrived again and inhabited their old base… They’re still wearing their funny armors.
Entry 5:
Unfortunately, they weren’t staying for long. The storm drove them away, but they left one of them here.
I stopped his bleeding, patched him up and covered him in dirt while he was knocked out so he could survive.
Entry 6:
Today the little guy tried to blow him self up. Maybe he’s suffering from dangerous depression, who knows?
Entry 7:
I’ve been stalking the little fellow for a while and I found out the he is doing some gardening. Boy I always dreamed about garden.
I must sneak in and find out what he was planting.
Entry 8:
My stealth mission didn’t go quite well. I accidentaly damaged the garden wall and everything blew up, destroying the plants.
At least, I managed to save some crops for myself without him noticing.
Entry 48:
The little guy left. I didn’t have the chance to ask him how he managed to grow the crops nor to say him goodbye.
Nevertheless, I’LL HAVE MY GARDEN!
This part is boring, let’s skip a bit.
Now some missing pages, I wonder when I tore that up?
Where is it?
Ahh…Here it is.
Entry 142:
It’s been a long long time since I started trying to grow crops. Unsuccesfully.
Meanwhile the little guys returned, they built a really nice base, one must admit, and even make themselves my neighbours.
How cool is that?
Entry 146:
I snuck up in to the base I found out that you need special soil and the specific liquid for the crops.
I managed to steal some. Time to build a garden.
Entry 153:
It’s all set up as it should be. Crops are protected.
Now all I need is patience, and I have small amount of it left in me.
Entry 169:
I can’t believe my eyes, kept pinching myself to see if this is really true.
I could see small sprout in the soil. I’m going to have a garden. Must celebrate.
Entry 173:
The plant is a size of my finger nail. I’m proud of it.
It should be proud of itself. It’s the last plant that managed to survive on this barren planet.
Entry 178:
I was awake by sudden noise comming from my garden.
I rushed out to it, only to see my neighbours, the little guys,
opening the door to my home. As they saw me, they started running and hiding from me.
With the glimpse of an eye I saw one of them trying to cross the garden and my plant was in it’s way.
I tryed to warn him but it was already late. He crushed it with his foot like I crushed him and the rest of his kin a few moments later.
My rage returned and that wasn’t a good thing.
Entry 179:
Sorry plant, I’ve failed you. I’ve failed myself.
I can feel my anger overwhelming me…
Final entry:
I only ever wanted is to have a garden.
They’ve destroyed it.
They’ll pay for it.
NOW I’LL BRING THEM HELL!
Hope this counts as I don’t have access to a pc for a week or two til my son gets back all I have is my photo taken with my phone.
