Story Idea - Moving From Earth

The world is really too much with us. When it comes time for the last families to leave their humble abode and seek a better life on the recently expanded Mars community, they can not find it in themselves to go. Most of the natural resources have been depleted and most of their friends and colleagues have already moved. These families want to stay. They want to try again to help the earth thrive again.

The choice would be easier, except a new, discovery surfaces and is shared with only a few, but as with all rumors, the word spreads. One by one, the last families seem to disappear. Those on Earth believe they have moved to Mars. Those on Mars…well, they don’t seem to notice…Where have the families gone? What was this new discovery? You decide…

Chose a voice…Are you writing from the viewpoint of one family? Or, many and a more omniscient view? Chose a location…Do they go underground? Or, maybe somewhere in a better suited past? Write with details. Your story will be shorter than you would ever imagine, but save the rest for other storylines. Post it here, or share elsewhere, but write and enjoy…
