Tales From The Town #178: Spaceships Built From Steam

“Spaceship.”

“And that one?”

“Spaceship.”

“What about that one?”

“Spaceship.”

“Daniel, will you stop saying they all look like spaceships when not one of them looks even anything at all like a spaceship EVEN SLIGHTLY!”

“They don’t just look like spaceships, Claire. They ARE spaceships.”

“No they’re not. They’re clouds!”

“They’re lighter than air!”

“Yeah?”

“And they move!”

“So?

“They can disappear!”

“And?”

“And they’re full of space!”

Claire remained unconvinced by her brother’s arguments on the matter.

Balloon Trip

__________

Notes:

1. Made on 28th March, 2021
2. Due to my own ineptitude (not recharging my camera battery) this had to been abandoned half way through
3. So there’s an entire space based section of this missing
4. Possibly forever
5. Depending on how much enthusiasm I can muster for finishing it off tomorrow
6. I should probably try and learn how to animate birds before then really
7. Also as always a pointlessly youtubed version, if you want to watch it there instead of here
