They Met on Mars!

4 pp · Science Fiction

In a stark, red-hued battle on Mars, two figures in clunky space suits clash in a silent, desperate fight. One destroys the other’s ship and flees across the alien landscape, unaware that their enemy was not a monster, but a fellow human—just from a different nation, a different world.
