GRAVITY - Robotina

Gravity tells the story of an ordinary individual in a dystopian world, in which gravity is inverted.

We are in the year two thousandSomething. The Earth is a boundless bare and desolate expanse. It seems undergone an inexorable apocalypse, but the real reason is that the force of gravity has decided to change direction: instead of pointing to the ground, it pushes toward the sky. Along a paved road, X (30, non-binary, tall, long-faced, long-necked, dark circles under his eyes) seems to take no notice. The deep dark circles under his eyes and the trickle of drool that protrudes to the sky are evidence of how much more he could sleep, but the alarm clock on his smartphone reminds him that he cannot afford to. So, after one last yawn, he laboriously moves his legs – one after the other – along the street. With a disinterested gaze and dogged determination, X covers miles of distance. He has only one goal in his head, and no one will stop him.
