Waiting for inspiration

Waiting for inspiration The air in a waiting room carries a specific kind of weight, a density that seems to swallow sound. For centuries, artists have tried to capture this heavy, invisible presence. I think of Honoré Daumier , who portrayed the slumped, weary resignation of third-class travellers. He understood that waiting wasn't just sitting; it was an endurance sport. I see that same heavy air, but my era is electrified. The figure on the left isn't just sitting; they are anchored against a storm of data. Their head is buried in their hands, face half-hidden as if they're trying to crawl inside their own mind to escape the silence. The thick, aggressive slashes of orange and gold overhead resemble a visual scream, capturing that internal chaos where your thoughts race at a hundred miles an hour while your body is stuck in a plastic chair. The green glow on their skin adds a cold, modern tension, making the whole scene feel like a pulse vibrating beneath a still surface...

The Space Tourist Chronicles book one

The Space Tourist Chronicles my first eBook

Kindle edition

by John Bennett (Author) AKA JJFBbennett

The Space Tourist Chronicles is a wild and hazardous space adventure in a post-collapse universe, following intrepid space tourists and their bio-engineered cyborg spoodle, Katcha, aboard their battered Subi spacecraft as they embark on a perilous journey filled with dangerous detours, celestial traffic jams, and encounters with unique cosmic phenomena.

by John Bennett (Author) AKA JJFBbennett

The story follows two space travellers, JB and BK, and their genetically-modified spoodle, Katcha, as they embark on a journey in their old freighter, the Subi. Their goal is to reach the mythical Outpost Aurum, a famed tourist destination.

Their journey first takes them to the Rumour Mill, a dangerous asteroid station, to acquire navigation charts for the treacherous Necropolis Corridor—a vast graveyard of derelict starships. While traversing the corridor, they are attacked by scavengers. Using her unique bio-engineered senses, Katcha identifies a weakness in the scavenger's equipment, allowing the crew to disable their attacker and escape.

Book one is a snapshot of arriving at their destination, where they discover that Outpost Aurum is not a station but a single, giant, luminous tree growing on a barren moonlet. Known as the Sunrise Tree, it stands as a breathtaking beacon of life and beauty in the desolate void, offering the weary travellers a moment of profound peace and wonder after their perilous journey.
