She Wrote 'Mars' In Her Diary

It happened. Quickly. While she was washing her beautiful hair in the bathroom in living simplicity, she felt how 'something' entered the room. That something was forceful enough to put her into a deep sleep. As if her thoughts and emotions were put to rest. Brain break. Her body and soul moved with the flow. The earth became smaller and smaller. Beneath her feet the other humans continued their lives. The best they could, not knowing that there was more to come. So much more. A camera followed her travelling. It registered every single detail. Later she would receive a dvd of the scene.

Her lips were smiling. As if they embraced the experience from above. The force was gentle and took good care of her. They went through clouds and through all kind of special effects. A universal team in the making. 'It' touched her with curiosity. Her skin was soft as a feather as humans usually are. The force measured her body temperature, it was going down. Normal for the occasion. From a distance devices calculated the consequences for all of her organs. Still within healthy reach. The station was expecting her.

The gate opened. Other forces at work. With big eyes. Bigger than a human eye ever can be. They saw everything that they needed to see. To multiply the benefits of it. The force nodded to its fellow beings. She was welcome. In every way. They waited long for her. Finally she arrived. Inside the station, there were different bungalows with all luxury. More than any human brain could ever collect during a lifetime. Her private room was completed. She was installed on a bed of red roses. The forces learned from human movies that most women love some romance.

When she woke up, she was not afraid. The forces modified her human dna to adapt it to the circumstances of Mars. She had everything she wanted as they tapped into her needs. Even her family and friends were close, operating in a parallell universe. They could meet on one to one basis when she felt like it. The other humans were not aware of her special situation. The forces wanted to study her emotional thought processes so they offered her a diary with leaves made from sand on Mars. No trees touched. The forces of Mars noticed that that was not the way to go.

She wrote 'Mars' in her diary and she felt good. The big eyes of the forces followed her everywhere and fell in love with her. They all wished that they could be like her. They also made a male fellow and tested if she could fall for the Mars version of a lover. They created a romantic scene. In a bookstore. He asked her about a book. She had to answer. He looked into her eyes and she felt the connection. The big eyes had fun. Their technology seemed to meet the earthly requirements. He asked her if they could meet again. Score! Whispered the force that brought her in.

Months later, the forces read her diary to learn about human behaviour. They wanted to know what love feels like for a human being. To their big surprise, she left most of the pages blank. She did not feel the need to share her thoughts and emotions. The only thing that they could find, were signs of gratitude. Little emoticons that represented her emotions. Every day there was one emoticon. Even in the best circumstances as life on Mars, the forces witnessed that love is a river of movements. One day, the emoticon showed an enthusiastic smile and the other day, there were some tears. 

But the smile would always return like the sun. A rare observation. The forces created a line through the emoticons and linked the emotions together. The engineer forces created a huge overview of it all. In the discovery room, the screen showed that the flowing river as natural part of the earth came closest to the feeling of love. It always continued in a gentle way. Touching every part of the environment. Leaving traces. For good. The ones that were involved, kept on growing together. Love was a simple expression of a conscious choice to create the best of two worlds. 

With ups and downs. Accepted the way it was. Nothing more. Nothing less. The human being and the Mars created version of a human male fell in love. Deeply. Through this discovery, the forces could create more loving couples. The concept seemed to work. They were ready to multiply the effect to the rest of the Mars nation. More loving bungalows were built. The project was a huge success. The original force that brought her to Mars, got promoted. For having brought the key to love. The water in the bathroom on earth connected with the river. The water danced. With human grace.
