Chapter 16 Part 3

John had been holding it off. Finally, he felt so bad he figured he better go see a doctor while he still could. He was pretty sure he had the same disease that Fred and Wanda had come down with.

Chapter 16 Part 1

Chapter 16--Destruction of Martian Colony 101 The sudden cessation of motion woke Wanda up. Then she heard John say, “We’re here, at last. Boy, I’m all in. I sure can’t wait to hit the sack.

Chapter 15 Part 4

“What is this place?” asked Blake. “As far as I can tell, it’s some kind of residential district,” said Stark, “One look inside will verify it.” Stark saw a single room. Some kind of weird contraption stood next to the door that he had just come through. Stark could see where chairs had been... Sign in to see full entry.

Chapter 15 Part 3

Up ahead, Stark noticed something lying on the ground. At first, it looked like a shapeless head. There was what looked like blood splattered around it. At first, Stark thought it was human. Further investigation revealed that not to be true. It turned out to be some sort of half-decayed creature.... Sign in to see full entry.

Chapter 15 Part 2

Chapter 15--Explore Six days after the destruction of Martian Colony 101 Stark pointed down at the footprints in the dust. “These lead down the tunnels, and that’s where we’re going.” “Lead on,” said Blake and Parker almost in unison as they headed off down the tunnel.

Chapter 14 Part 6

“Here’s the last of the bags,” said Fred, “They’re going to slow us down, so we better start heading for the top, now.” “Times a wasting,” John agreed, “Let’s go.” And so they started back.

Wanda had a very refreshing rest. She noticed that Fred and John looked much better, also. They all had wafers and water for breakfast. Fred had the idea to fashion some cups from the wafer packages.
