A Call To Mars

A signal from Mars has all the nations of Earth teaming up to pay a visit to the Red Planet. Well-trained and long-pampered representatives from each nation came together to travel through space: 5 were selected on how well they would represent their nation and their planet in the hopes of impressing this new Mars society. And to Mars they went. Upon arriving, they found a surreal desert out of a dream, and no intelligent life to be found. These five adults, many poorly developed in regards to maturity, identity, and attitude, many from completely separate or rival cultures, are forced to survive together on a planet with unknown terrors and no comfort in familiarity. Created for Antholojam 1: Golden Era of Sci Fi.
