Rat Bedlington The black and stupefying sea

Amid eruptions, an entity blasts off. On either side, a figure retrieves his pornography from the pile of straw where he hides it. These figures are like Ancient Greek sibyls, prophetesses who hold and impart knowledge. Their heads are replaced with diagrams, one describing the likelihood of life in the universe, the other showing a nuclear warhead achieving fusion. The centre is inhabited by house-like objects, symbolising the seemingly inevitable form of human existence, drifting aimlessly in generation ships as people escape Earth, having exhausted it as a home.
