‘Tunnel City’… introducing Binda

‘Tunnel City’ started as a project to help me define and wrap my mind around the planet Binda. Binda is the setting of one of my first science fiction novels, and ‘Tunnel City’ is a tool to introduce my readers to the Binda Universe. It’s the first short story from the Binda Universe, but it won’t be the last. It’s a small story in an epic saga, that introduces some of the ideas and concepts that will be used throughout the entire Binda Universe.

‘Tunnel City’ crystallised in my mind after watching a spider spin and re-spin its web in a pipe over several days. The pipe was debris from a renovation job on our home, and was lying on the edge of a creek. The poor spider couldn’t have picked a worse home, as the pipe was either flooded with water as the creek rose and subsided, or was whipped about by the strong Fall winds that gusted up the gully.

Emphasising my belief that the human spirit is strong, ‘Tunnel City’ highlights the tenacity of humans and the ability of humanity to cope under extreme adversity. ‘Tunnel City’… Nine levels of humanity, clinging for survival to the sides of a vast tunnel.

‘Tunnel City’ is available exclusively on all Amazon Kindle stores.
