Fear takes us down an unexpected road in EOS, a revolutionary Solarpunk story from author Samantha Redstreake Geary, in collaboration with artist Jenny Vyas, featuring music by Really Slow Motion, and groundbreaking graphics via designer Koke Núñez Gómez!
A new dawn is on the horizon, where boundaries are broken, diversity is embraced, and an optimistic, creative vision of our future on Earth takes center stage.
EOS is a powerful solarpunk story narrated by FEAR, who tackles real-world issues concerning terrorism, prejudice, and diversity, to near-future technology surrounding sustainable energy that restores the balance between humanity and nature. This isn’t a defeatist tale. It is a look through the lens of positive futurism that showcases the courage, compassion and capabilities of humanity as equal partners in building a bridge to a better tomorrow.
Hovertube
Standing desperately still on a silver hoverpad, in the center of a clear tube, a nervous mother and captivated son race to the 49th floor alongside columns pulsing with crystal jellyfish.
“Why is there never any stairs,” Dr. Vanisa Kirti mumbles, nursing a healthy fear of plummeting to her death.
Opposite her, Arjun stands with both hands and face pressed against the glass, his eyes devouring the view, his mouth open with unabashed joy.
The hoverpad stills, and the tube slides open. Vanisa jumps for the opening. She’s halfway down the rounded hall before realizing Arjun’s not behind her.
“Arjun!” she shouts.
Arjun, reluctant to leave the tube, ignores her.

I won’t get into the hovertube – I have a healthy fear of falling 🙂 Good luck with the rest of the AtoZchallenge.

I’d want my hovertube made of some opaque material please! Don’t suppose that would go down too well with the kiddo though.
Awesome music! Love the whole, rich story experience every time I visit this blog.
Best wishes,
Nilanjana.

That sounds rather terrifying 🙂 I can barely get my husband in a lift, I think he would freak at a hover tube.
