text: [Before the story, I need to say that I’m in no way a professional writer in fact I’m only 14. I had this idea for a story for a while now and I’m just getting around to writing it. Hope to get some feedback and maybe I’ll make some more stories in the future!] 6/6/2025, 9:02 pm: “Today we sent the first ever humans to Mars in hopes of creating a base of operations there. They are projected to land in T minus 4 hours. Things have gone smooth so far. I’ll keep you updated.” 17/6/2025, 7:57 pm: “It’s been about 11 days since the launch, sorry about not responding to you’re calls. Today something bad happened. We lost all contact to the Mars team. And to make matters worse, the conflicts between China and Russia seem to be getting worse so we may not be able to send any other people up there. Hopefully we get something back from them.” 6/6/2125, 6:15 am: “Daddy said we have to go to some space place today. Something about a project Grandpa worked on for his entire life. I don’t know what to expect! I’ll write back here after we’re done.” 6/6/2125, 8:38 pm: “We’re done at the space thing and apparently it was the 100th anniversary of the 1st people to go to another planet! They said they still haven’t sent anything up there to this day. I wonder why?” 19/5/2150, 6:00 am: “Today I have a job interview. I’m applying at the NASA Center for Inter-terrestrial Human Life. I’m kinda nervous but I think I got this. You know what... I think this is the same place I went with my dad when I was only 8. Wow the time flies.” 22/5/2150, 5:45 pm: “I just got a letter in the mail and I got the job! I bet grandpa would be so proud.” 24/5/2150, 9:32 pm: “Today was my first day at work. Everyone knew me! My grandpa was a legend here. He dedicated his whole life to this. Sadly, however, after his work they stopped with Mars. Still don’t know why. When I asked, all they said was... “no contact....” I’m very confused.” 31/11/2153, 4:53 am: “I was just awoken to a loud rumbling. What could it be? I looked outside and saw nothing. It’s probably just a tremor or something but I live too far from the fault line. I have a bad feeling about this.” Same day, 5:10 am: “I felt another rumbling. Same thing. Looked outside, saw nothing. Wait.... I think I just saw a light outside.” 5:13 am: “There is another rumble and more light. What the hell could it be? I’ve got to go out there and see for myself.” 5:22 am: “WHAT THE HELL IS THAT? LOOKS LIKE A MASSIVE SPACE SHIP IN THE SKY!!” 5:25 am: “It keeps saying “contact us! contact us!” over and over again! What could it want?!” 5:31 am: “It just shot what seems to be a missile. I think this is it. If you are reading this, run.” The End.
