RE: Five minute free write - canal
This was a great #freewrite. You're a very talented writer. What is your background with writing?
I gather from this story that there's some sort of post-apocalyptic war happening on Mars and the narrator wants to get back to Earth, or as written,
the pale blue dot
Also, please check out my post detailing a day in Venice, Italy during my backpacking trip in the Summer of 2014 =)
My background is just doing a lot of writing, hehe. I had a blog when I traveled Southeast Asia, and came back and did some work with a print magazine that I became the managing editor for. But that's about it. Lots and lots and lots of words :)
That's one way to interpret the end of the story. My mind was going along the lines of the old myth of water filled canals on Mars, and a species that felt that since they destroyed their planet, they could find life again on Earth. Their last hope. Whomever 'they' happened to be in the end :)
Well Martians of course...
