Thanks to my pre Wattpad team: my loving wife, awesome sister, and exceptional father, for the combination of editing, proofreading, motivation, castigation, and generally making sure that my writing was suitable for feeding to the public.

I would also like to credit the inspiration behind writing this story in first person (and in a post climate-change setting), which just happened to come to me after reading ea_carter's I, Cassandra. Thank you, and not for the first time!
And an unusually slice of gratitude goes the science museum of Valencia (Museu de les Ciències Príncipe Felipe) where the original A Red Planet concept came to me when visiting a Mars exhibition there.
Graphics work was done in GIMP (a powerful open source image manipulator) using a photo from stocksnap.io, where photographers generously share their works with the Creative Commons license. The photo Stocksnap ID for the photo is C24IMHW28A
Finally, and I can't stress this enough, thank you (all of you) for reading, commenting, and voting on my stories – and for making writing them worthwhile!
