Image: A "vibe board" for the story Continuum 1: DISUNION, a novel of ~88,000 words by JJ Robinson II. A matrix of murder, treachery, and betrayal on a blue-green field; a volcanic eruption piercing clouds above; a village and its fields along a canal, a frail aircraft over open ocean; a giant extinct pterodactyl; a nuclear explosion. In the center, a small, aerodynamic spacecraft approaches the edge of a terrifying abyss, with the planet's two suns beyond.
