The crater-pocked and irregular shaped Phobos dominated the astral night azure, waxing a pale moon over Mars. Contrarian long shadows creased the folds of opposing gestures as spikelet and blade glistened. The inflorescence sea shimmered in endless waves of near tessellate pallid colors when wild gusting winds whipped at the greensward top.
Tickling a display of frantic rushes, gamboling shadows of frolicking fauna danced amongst the swaying tall grass. Descendants of archaically classified extinct Pecora, presented common inheritable factors of all Martian creatures. The genetically modified hairless deer’s thick silvery-grey integument, offered a decorative tiger-like stripe in a flash of robust survivalism. The subdued dark brown arrangement, against a highly reflective skin, easily disrupted the visual acuity of any predator, giving them superior camouflaging unfound within the DNA sequencing of their Earthly ancestral link.
Air flowed naturally up the slow moving terrain, signifying the advantageous high ground the hunters claimed. Strong olfactory glands detected a distinct musky smell drifting on the morning breeze, indicating the beginning of the rut; and the hairless deer’s movements down below would have gone unnoticed if it were not for their upsurge in activity.
The hunter’s large eyes spotted the prey’s aggressive display of ritual mating. Too preoccupied to realize they were being stalked, the deer unwittingly brandished loud demonstrations of hoof stomps, grunts, and whistles. A testosterone-laden froth-like foam coated all the stag’s skin, and parading their masculine splendor of tongue wagging excitement, they pranced aggressively around the gathering doe. In a show of ultimate dominance, the large bucks locked antlers during battle while the doe waited for an eventual outcome. When the largest of bucks consolidated enough victories, he would rein supremacy over the herd.
Igniting a glisten off the spear tip’s surface, and edging at the evening’s firmament, a beaconing new dawn glinted a crackle of light at periphery. The clan leader clenched his weapon tight; gripping on to the moment’s sensation, he crouched low, pressing forward the hunt through the thick grass. Several more clan members instinctively followed, and slowly they all ascended in short bursts, frequently pausing so as not to give away their positions; panicking prey might mean failure, and clan survival could be at risk.
The Giant hunters of Mars lived a precariously fragile existence, and the seasonal subsistence hunting necessitated life for the clan; providing rich protein they so desperately needed. One failed hunt could spell disaster. This tightrope existence determined only the strongest survived in the leanest of times. During periods of near starvation, and despite their cooperative nature, Martian Humanoids demonstrated forms of cannibalism which included eating their own dead before resorting to predation on other clans.
The masking wind suddenly died, causing their movements to be chancy. However, they didn’t stop prowling forward, until reaching spear-throwing distance. Now scattered amongst the tall grass, the Humanoids respired creating purloins of silent gasps of steam in the equable moment of cool morning air. Deliberately pointing right, the formidable leader signaled half the clan to move, and in near unison, they flanked the unsuspecting hoofed animals.
When cresting over the hilltop from behind, the glimmering sunrise overwhelmed the moon’s radiance in a fight for supremacy, and the deer precipitously appeared under an astrophysical battle of projected morning light. The welcoming warmth of the growing light, caused doe and
