When a lost robot stumbles on a pile of bits and bobbles, can he build a rocket ship and end his lonely troubles?
Robot's story begins in a world that has been abandoned by humankind. He finds himself alone, surrounded by all of our discarded belongings and junk. After spending years wondering why he was left behind, he finds a rusty piece of rocket. This single piece sparks an idea that takes Robot on a journey across the globe, in the hopes he will find enough pieces to build his own rocket ship and find his friends.
A heartfelt tale of hope, perseverance, and finding the courage to push through adversity.
A note from the author:
From time to time, we all find ourselves in places or situations we never could have imagined, and finding our way through them can often seem impossible. Whether it's escaping a deserted planet by building a rocket ship or embarking on a creative venture, during a year unlike any other; all we need is the courage to begin, and the perseverance to succeed.
I would specially like to thank the below luminaries for helping me take my first step - as through their words, came my courage.
Begin anywhere, preferably right now. - Elizabeth Gilbert, The Big Magic.
I opened my mind to creativity and it found me, but your words inspired me to act.
Through the ashes of disaster, grow the roses of success. - The Sherman Brothers, The Roses Of Success, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
Words that have stuck with me my entire life, and now live within Robot's story.
Lastly, thank you. I hope Robot's story encourages you to always be on the lookout for that something (or someone) that inspires you.
