Martian Gothic

It was a unique environment.

They were unique people in a unique place.

A mountain fifteen thousand metres high with a vertical south face.

Two pretty Goth girls stood on the edge.

One footstep forward and it was a huge fall to the Martian plateau.

Three hundred metres in front of the girls was a fine layer of Cirrus cloud,

thirty metres thick.

The Terraforming had worked brilliantly providing a heavy Earth like atmosphere on Mars.

Olympus Mons was a great holiday destination for young East European adventurers like Hanneke and Silge.

Hanneke had waist length black hair and Silge shoulder length red hair with lip piercings.

Both were equally beautiful as the magnificent landscape straight out of a sci-fi film.

They were taking time out of their Earth based Martian Geology course after a short field trip.

A quick hike was a chance to chill out and take in the stunning views.
