15 words — Words for Wednesday

This week's Words for Wednesday is provided by Cindi and hosted at Elephant's Child blog. This week's prompt is: The year is 2030. The first astronauts have landed on Mars. They find a cave with a single human skeleton in it and fifteen words written on the wall. What are those words?

I came up with a few choices, all written quite randomly:

01 | To humans who came here: Go home. This is not a place for the living.

02 | The cure is in our bones and in the stars. We must learn to wait.

03 | I was going to stay with him forever, then I thought, what the hell for?

04 | Here lies my beloved wife. May she never forgets who kissed first. It was me.

05 | Please bury me beside my cat, my dog, and my wife but not my mother-in-law.

06 | I was here first, Neil. Ha ha—uh-oh, I think I've swallowed a strange bug.

07 | I left to get the bigger ship. Hope to return in 2,000 years or less.
