Apocalypse

Mars. People say that out of all the planets, Mars would be the easiest to live on.

Mars is a terrestrial planet
with a thin atmosphere, having surface
features reminiscent both of the impact craters of the Moon and the volcanoes, valleys, deserts and polar ice caps of
Earth.

"Hmmmmm, quite interesting", you say. And I hear you because I have excellent hearing. First of all, craters. Craters as in, impact craters?, the impact of, oh, say, meteors? similar to the one that killed every single diosaur?

And volcanoes? Maybe similar to Mount Vesuvius, the volcanoe that buried Pompeii and Herculaneum?

And Deserts? As in Oceans that have dried up?

hm.

Could it be possible that in the past, civilisation existed there, and was obliterated by any one of these three catastrophes?
Who knows?
