Mars

How would you answer if you were asked the question if you wanted to live on Mars? Would it be an immediate yes, a hesitant yes or no, of course the answer depends on what your family think but I myself would say yes, just think about for a while, here on Earth what have we got apart from our families, there's the constant struggle every day to make our wages or pensions last us the whole week or month, bills to pay, food to buy, more and more people with the threat of over population, famine and the constant threat of WW111 and nuclear devastation, idiots running our countries and nothing really for our children to look forward to when they grow up, only just the same as we as parents are going through now or even worse. Who knows what will happen in the next century if that is we survive this century, I would imagine more of the same only the Almighty will decide. Now look at Mars, living there on a completely uninhibited planet, no global warming just living inside domes, with perhaps the chance of our own dome just as we have a house here on Earth, no bills to pay all you have to do is grow your own vegetables, raise your own animals, live in peace with your family with a future to look forward to by just concentrating on keeping the life that you choose going forward with new discoveries, making it better and easier for you and your family so that they do have something to look forward to even though you can't go for a walk outside but if we build then perhaps we will end up with towns and cities inside our protective domes with all the comforts of Earth like parks, cinemas, sports and everything else that we had on Earth the only problem is that it will take time as it did to get to this point in Earth's history but we're not stupid and maybe we will survive and make a better life instead of ruining it. That's why I would say yes, I don't want our children to grow up with nothing to look forward to but a chance of a completely new life and perhaps a better one. After thinking about it what would you and your families do, stay or take a chance and go?

Seventh installment, sorry it's a bit late but its hard to write what I wrote and remember.

The next day it was awfully quiet, the calm before the storm perhaps, nothing much for breakfast so we decided to try and lay the land line. So off we went house to house laying the wire behind us and then the mortars started again so we hit the ground, lying down was the safest if caught outside, there were pieces of shrapnel hitting the wall near to us and it was not a very safe place to be so we decided to make a run for it, that was the quickest I had ran in a long time, it is amazing how fast your legs move when you're life is at risk, "that was a nice little bit of exercise" Eric said laughing, "yes but it would have been better if we weren't dodging pieces of metal" I replied also laughing.  Everyone was there apart from those on guard duty and during the night it had changed from two to three, so I sat down on the bar stool and Eric went behind the counter looking for something to eat and all of a sudden bang and I fell off the stool, they all came t...

Ninth installment

The remains of the unit that were in this position left and we followed them, we went around the outskirts of the village and back into the center. The rest of PIV or what was left of it were already there, we found out that Colin just after he had reached the main hq in the center of the village. We had to go back to the end of the street to see what was happening but as soon as we arrived we came under heavy fire as the enemy had pinpointed this house as our new front line, there was no way that we could reach Eric without getting everyone who attempted a rescue killed and because of the amount of enemy fire we had to fall back, on the way Alan started going berserk saying that he had to go back to fight, he was shooting everywhere so George calmed him down and asked him to take care of the elderly and that seemed to work. By now the village command had decided it was time to leave but first we had to wait for the mortar unit to reach safety. We could not get anywhere near under cons...

Third installment

Day in, day out, it was the same routine, sleep, guard, fire off a few rounds in the general direction of the enemy, there was not much else to do, the main thing was to stay alive by keeping inside every time mortars or artillery came flying in to the village. The only time that there was a lot of activitie was when we were buzzed by planes, everybody would rush outside, Ernie would jump on the transporter and fire the machine gun, I used to run to the machine gun that was mounted on a tripod at the end of the street and also fire at the plane, everybody else would be outside firing their ak47s, there was not much chance of hitting it or bringing it down but it took only one lucky shot and that would give everyone hope. After the plane had gone out of sight that the transporter was Ernies because he had shot at the enemy leaving the damaged transporter with a sniper rifle, so Geordi the commander in charge of the defense of Osijek had given it to Ernie, I also found out that he worked...
