Space Ennui – Scum Green (2017)

They promise us that soon we will fly to Mars. And that it will be wonderful. Both private companies and national space agencies promise this. Bright tomorrows. Sure. Ziky has already flown to Mars. As a prisoner. He is housed deep underground in their dungeons. And it certainly doesn't look like the red planet wants to cuddle with him. It will be more of a war. A duel for survival. No boredom here. Rather, the fate of constantly having to carve oneself out of trouble. How will Ziky deal with the aggressive Hellions? With other murderous monsters from various corners of the Universe? And what will he do with the little girl Sara? After 'Nuselský Punk,' its author Green Scum presents punk on the neighboring planet. Mars, in his portrayal, is yet another victim of human desire for power, a testament that the distress within the human soul can be evoked not only by a small dungeon but also by infinite space. At the same time, the style of short, abrupt, and vulgar sentences, as well as the plethora of action scenes through which the permanently angry protagonist and narrator deals with life, effectively mirrors the scattered nervousness of our present. There is no time for calm, let alone boredom. Life transformed into a frantic action game, where the next moves are determined not by the player's skill but by the constantly changing environment. A test of reactions and wit.
