Letters from the future
Old Blue Planet
by zanya
Hi Gran,
How you doing on that old blue planet? Did C 19, stop killing you all? It was just a signal, Gran, to migrate.
When I exited on the Mars Express a decade ago, everyone was locked up.
When I look through my Mars Meteorite, I see you earthlings, or those of you still left.
Do you earthlings still look at shops and drink coffee? How alien! O-o-ps, sorry that's our martian word.
So hip here on Mars. You can see forever. Wrecks of old space ships lying around. You earthlings know how to make a mess.
We can live anywhere in our cool pods. We don't need stuff. Living on earth, I was knee-deep in clutter, play stations, tablets, laptops.
Night here is magical. Two moons in the sky. Sunsets are purple and blue. I've forgotten what color sunset is on planet Earth. Remind me Gran when you signal me.
Gran, my signal code is a bit long. The blue planet is out of date, but here goes anyway, 88''@@zxbn675--=="".
When we Martians signal our neighbours we lodge a chip in our frontal lobe and we channel sound to see who wants to connect.
Channel soon.
Your Martian
Phobos( Mars moon name!)
