"Marooned"

His ship had given up its ghost weeks ago. The reactor was damaged in the crash, offering no hope of repair, and with it went the emergency beacon. Now, with no hope of rescue, he leaned against the tree to rest his weary frame.
He listened to the soft wind, rippling the grass around him. Noticed, for the very first time, the blooming flowers bathed in the lunar glow of the twin moons above. He breathed a sigh of relief. “There were worse ways to go,” he thought, and felt profoundly grateful.

Out With The Old, In With The New.

2025 is looking a little worse for wear, but hey, if you’re reading this, we’re here and we’re alive. Wishing everyone a better and brighter, and (maybe, hopefully?) happier 2026.

Inktober 2025 - 10/21 - "Blast"

 



Before Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” (2023), there was a movie called ‘Fat Man and Little Boy’ (1989), directed by Roland Joffe. This memorable image of Oppenheimer comes from the latter, the first thing that came to mind with today’s prompt ‘Blast’.
The movie depicts Oppenheimer — a heavy smoker — about to light a cigarette when the bomb goes off. This actually is a myth.
However, the theoretical physicist Ted Taylor ignited a smoke with thermal energy released by a test blast on June 1, 1952, using a mirror to focus the light from the detonation onto the tip of his cigarette.
