For fun, I’ve been assembling my own verse for a series of short stories. I’ve written the first three chapters. The timeline runs present day to 700 years into the future. Chapter One: Set on current Earth. A Ph D student in ancient Harrapan hieroglyphs experiences in present tense a short exchange nuclear war. She survives due to being deep in the sub-basement of the museum where she studies thousands of pottery shards hoping to break the Harrapan Engima. She’s recused some weeks later. Luckily, the sub-basement had the food locker for the museum canteen. Chapter Two: Five years later. She is a crew member on the Forlorn Hope Mission to Mars to excavate an alien artifact that offers hope for a rapidly dying Planet Earth. Because on two large golden doors embedded in opening of a dead lava tube, found by robotic rovers in an unmanned mission years before, but kept Top Secret, covered in untranslatable Harrapan glyphs. They arrive. Chapter Three: Seven months later. The Martin base camp in the valley just below The Doors  is still being established and the amalgamation of government and private industry rockets and landers arrive as all communication with Earth is lost due to a second atomic war back home. At this point the mission’s commander orders they dynamite the thick, gold colored doors. The heroine fights against this as her partial translation might be a warning. They proceeded to blow the entrance and their universe is changed forever. Got legs? I like it. It has a lot of potential. But should you be giving away your story idea on the internet? Be careful.
