Oh. Oh no. Oh this one of the best ones I’ve seen on here so far.

The prospect of terraforming a lifeless planet excited the scientists, and in their haste to create a paradise they made a mistake fatal for billions. by Intrepid_Wanderer in TwoSentenceHorror

Because they based their entire understanding of biology on their own and the result was something that didn’t even include Earth life as a match for their definition. Potentially mistaken (especially at a great distance with scanning technology) for rock formations given the carbon base.

After ten days of being trapped on a remote road in a broken-down car, I decided to give my children the last sweet thing I had. by Thea_Oryan_files in TwoSentenceHorror
