EXCITING SPACE ADVENTURE : TEASER TRAILER

- No... No! thought Zobar - Here? AGAIN?! Why a desert? Why is it always a desert?!
"Zobar, come back to bed." murmured Zorin.
- Again? Again?! How did I get here. Where's my helmet? Shit. SHIT!
"Zobar, baby. There has been an awakening. Have you felt it? Oo yeah."
"I, uh, I should get going, Zorin. Suns're up. And that's not a bed. That's the insides of... I don't know what that is."
"Sun's never up. And like you've never slept in guts."
"Not everyone sleeps in guts. How did that even start as a thing? Uh. Seriously, Boink will be wondering where I've got to. Thanks. Thanks for everything -"
"Who's Boink? WHO THE FUCK IS BOINK?"
"Zorin, Boink's just my droid."
"You gave your droid a name?"
"Yeah."
"Huh... I didn't know we were allowed to do that."
A dog fight roared overhead.
"This used to be such a quiet place. The dark side and the light," Zorin muttered, "Spoilt Macho Gumball Wacky-Race assholes..."

Fifteen clicks away, Boink finished his third jacket potato, and ran over his own head. Again.

EXCITING SPACE ADVENTURE 5

 

The sun would not set. Zorin could see that now. The sun would never set. Not entirely. The night would just have to take its chances. "Zorin," Zorin thought... "What is Zorin? A name. But is that name me? I am Zorin. But I am not my name. But my name is Zorin. But if I am not my name, how, then, can I be Zorin? The Buklup teaches us, moving always one dimension higher, that the map is indeed the territory. But does the Buklup not also say that to colour that map in, one should not use anything one hopes to sign one's name with? No names then..." thought Zorin, "Not this nearly-night..."
Relaxing, Zorin's back finally enjoyed the coolness of the sort-of-beach, and the skylight in his/her head opened with a gentle "ftung" to reveal... a single rose...  or something. Maybe wires, I could not really tell from where I was. And a foot? Perhaps I'm not the best person to be telling this actually. If I'm honest, you know I'm not even sure it was Zorin.
