[ WP ] A Man finally lands on mars , he finds human skeletal remains , and quickly realizes that in the past long long ago human 's lived on mars only to explore earth as they depleted the resources on mars .

`` David, get the fuck out of there!'' The voice blasted in my ear, but it was just a faint echo as my brain struggled to process what I was seeing. 
 
 `` David, the storm is closing in on your position!'' 
 
 There was no mistaking the familiar color and shape of human bones, any 7th grader who had navigated their way through science class could of identified what lay before me. Yet while I knew this to be true, my brain rejected it, it could not make the leap across this illogical crevice. How could the first man on Mars encounter human remains? 
 
 The radio crackled to life once more as mission commander Shurtz's voice came in clear as if he was standing next to me. His voice was dire, it seemed he knew I would soon share a fate similar to the remains that I could not take my eyes away from. 
 
 `` David... There is not enough time to get back to the ship, please seek whatever shelter you can, we will come for you after the storm has cleared I promise.'' 
 
 His normally calm and steady voice betrayed him, I knew there would be no rescue. I finally was able to look up, what I saw before me was something I would never forget, well at least for the next few fleeting moments of my life until I assumed all would go dark. A massive behemoth. A swirling mass of elemental force that swallowed up almost my entire field of vision. I desperately scanned what little horizon there was left until I spotted a tiny rock formation in the distance. 
 
 I ran. 
 
 The storm was impossibly close. I could feel the surge of wind and debris swirling around me, hungry for another offering. The formation was a hundred yards in front of me but it might as well of been a thousand. As I neared I spotted a tiny opening in the face of one of the larger rocks. I would say it was my best bet, but it was my only bet. 
 
 The opening was impossibly small, the storm would surely destroy this entire formation that lay in it's path daring to defy it, I would be collateral damage. As I lay there contemplating if the poor soul who I had found only moments early had the same thoughts racing through their head, a small opening within the dirt appeared, a hand reached out. 
 
 I did not have time to think, I did not have time to process, when your life hangs in the balance you do n't have the luxury of weighting the options, of thinking about how impossible this was, or if this was simply kind illusion my mind created to ease me into the next world. I grabbed it. 
 
 This hand, this savior, returned my grip and pulled me with a surprising amount of strength. Just as the massive storm rushed over the entire formation, the tiny enclosure sealed, shutting off what tiny light remained from the surface. Everything was pitch black until a torch lit up directly in front of me. 
 
 What stood before me was... human. 
 
 `` Who.....who are you, how.....how are you....?'' 
 
 The man looked at me with unblinking eyes for what seemed to be an eternity. At first I thought he must be asking himself the same impossible questions I was, but I soon realized he knew not who I was, but he knew what I was. 
 
 `` I knew you would come. The cruel thing about history, given enough time it will repeat itself, so here we find ourselves. If you are here, that means the cycle has begun again.'' He began to cry. 
 
 My entire training, mission prep, travel time and journey to this planet had been under the assumption that I was traveling to uncharted lands, never before touched by man, never before tainted by our sins. The realization hit me like a ton of bricks. 
 
 I met his teary eyes and asked, `` Where are we?'' 
 
 He looked at me with a sadness that enveloped me even more than massive storm raging above us. 
 
 `` This.....is Earth....was... Earth.''
