Safe at Home or Fernweh was an illustration and short prose piece by Laura Seabrook for Jenny Everywhere Day 2020.

Plot

After visiting a world suffering through a pandemic, this Jenny must avoid shifting for a while and quarantine away from all people for a fortnight. She spends her time socializing online via a "TESLA ELECTRIKS Farnsworth Communicator" which looks like an ordinary laptop.

Worldbuilding

Jenny’s wall is covered in pictures, which are annotated by the artist. She has pictures of fellow adventuring ladies Lara Croft and Lady Penelope, environmental extremist Poison Ivy, and famed sea captain Archibald Haddock. There is also a photo of a Harley Davidson WLA motorcycle; it’s not mentioned if this Jenny has one herself.

Behind the scenes

Fernweh is not a location, though it's easy to read it that way. Rather it’s a German word literally translating as ‘love of hiking’ but more generally meaning the enjoyment of travel. This Jenny is being responsible, staying safely at home rather than giving in to her wanderlust.
