Mars Attacks

MARS, PA - So while I was traveling the Northwest (Pennsylvania) I decided to make a special stop to see the Mars Spaceship. I’ve been wanting to do a pilgrimage ever since I found out Mars had enough of a sense of humor to have a flying saucer in town. And even though I missed my exit, I turned. I don’t plan on heading north next weekend.
Rumor has it the saucer likes to wander about the town of Mars, so I didn’t even bother trying to look for it. That’s the reason I drove right past it on my way to the Foodland where I asked for directions. I was actually looking for someone older to ask about the thing figuring if it no longer existed they would at least remembered it. There’s nobody over 18 working at the Foodland. I thought my best chance would be to ask the manager, who responded by saying she didn’t know “where they put that thing this time.” And so my heart dropped. If I wanted to find the fabled flying saucer I would have to explore Mars on my own.
