A Short SF Vignette - The Hidden Scrolls of Mars (Earth Time, 100,000 BC)

"I hope, nobody finds these writings! If one does, it means someone else between Earth and Mars or some other planet has been here, and God help them if they have no way off this planet. That is to say, they'll most likely have to face these awful solar winds and storms which you will find out are quick and intense. They have stripped away most of Mars' atmosphere, edged rock formations, rivers. I am the last person left here, most of us left, escaped to earth a decade ago. Earth is quite primitive to our race yet it is rich with life. We look more like the Cro-Magnon, and they, well, only time will tell, I venture to say, an earlier stage of mankind.
