The Martian A Novel Novels & Stories

“You won’t want to get up. The weightlessness can make you feel disoriented.” “Is there a window?” Ellis asked. Logan reached down and pushed a panel. Beneath it was a tiny porthole, Ellis peered out into the empty blackness, littered with glittering stars. She saw Zothea and was staggered by how huge it was. “Does the second planet look like that?” she asked. “No, their water and soil are red.” Like Mars, Ellis thought to herself. The flight was barely three hours long. Logan worked on his communicator while Ellis read some documents. She started to wish she hadn’t drunk coffee in the morning, because there wasn’t a toilet on the ship.

we hear Gabriel behind us and we nod releasing each other. He takes us through few corridors, which is again well-lit. We reached a door where two men stand guarding and they had actual guns. They bowed at Gabriel as they opened the door for us to enter. Again, I am surprised to see the neat prison in front of me. It looked so similar to the human prison. It had plain walls with heavy iron bars securing each cell. Each cell had a steel cot with no mattress and only a few had inmates who looked and smelled so dirty.

"Say what? I reincarnated into a reverse novel." The system's words were like a thunderclap; not daring to believe this was true, the whole person was stunned for five seconds. Marin found a corner to sit, blankly looking at the novel in her hand without saying anything. Trying to calm her nerves, she opened the novel and read the last few chapters she hadn't finished yet. The novel [Love you more than the stars.] has very bloody content. The novel is set in a modern setting with a director's love affair with a secretary.

And like on our home planet . "No," Martha interrupted me. - These are not stories. The moment of transition is the year 118 according to the earth reckoning. - So it's true? - Of course. We are aliens here, strangers on this earth. Our world was dying. Our planet - Erythea, more than twice as large as the Earth, probably already was. - And what happened? Why are we here?

Tyler said, soothingly. Slowly the building stopped shaking and Tristan had put the fire out. Tyler pulled me away from him slightly to look at my face and my eyes were back to blue and I was looking around confused. All the books were on the ground and the furniture looked like it had been rearranged. “What happened?” I asked, weakly before I fell in Tyler’s arms and I slipped into oblivion.

The air was thin and stale, carrying the metallic tang of recycled oxygen. Through a large viewport, a desolate landscape stretched out before us. A dusty red horizon, dotted with barren rock formations, stretched as far as the eye could see. Two moons hung low in the twilight sky, casting an eerie glow over the scene. "Mars," Sarah whispered, her voice filled with awe and a hint of fear. We had made it. We were on another planet. But the relief at reaching our destination was quickly overshadowed by the stark reality of our surroundings. This was a harsh, unforgiving world, a million miles away from everything we knew.

Mars said, “Ask the living book. I’m sure you’re supposed to return to it or something.” I frowned, “How do you know that?” Mars chuckled, “I’m an ancient vampire, remember? I know some things. I just don’t know how the book landed in your realm, because it’s only one living book across the realms, so I’m shocked you were able to access it.” Micha said, “Has it existed in other realms before, or something?” Mars replied, “Yes, yes. Something like that. Anyways, I suggest you go to the living book right now.”

In an instant Mars disappears and I feel another wave of panic. “You cant get rid of me that easily.” I hear Mars say inside my head. “I would never dream of getting rid of you. Im afraid you have a life sentence with me.” I say back, the smile on my face not leaving anytime soon. The sky turns blood read and the ground begins to shake, then I feel myself free falling. The sky now starts to rain, the blood red rain comes down hard and fast from the sky. The ground beneath my falling body begins to flood. The level slowly starting to rise higher and higher and I feel that I am no longer falling.

Alien, can you tell me why? He looked at me like I was a specimen. He looked almost amazed at my word vomit. "I'm different, I'm here on a vacation. And don't get me starting about your leaders. You'd definitely find it offensive," he said as a matter of fact-ly. ¨Also, Mars is such a waste of time. Trust me, we've tried and nothing ever thrives there. You might find a skull or two if your little robot ran a little farther. Tell me when that happens and I'll inform my crew. It might be one of our ancestors,¨

I don’t know how much more of this I can take. I have been here so long. Too long. I have no idea where we are. I tried to ask Garon, on the first day, and for that I got a beating. What I can see from the windows is a large desert of reddish brown sand. There is some vegetation but only a little. A few times I have seen wildlife, but mostly it’s deadly silent. At the moment there is a storm and the sand is whirling around outside. It’s not all that interesting, but it is more exciting than the grey walls of this prison. The only thing that is better with this place instead of the Vorian is that at least it has days. The sun goes up and down. It has risen six times. I have no idea if the day
