ten

As she entered the hall, Carly opened her mouth to thank the doorman, but the words never formed. Bubbles as far as the eye could see. Colorful bubbles of all different hues floated around her, greeting her as she tried to make sense of this new world.

As Carly popped a green bubble, she noticed some tiny bubbles to her right. Walking further in, she made her way to an army of tiny bubbles. So miniscule and dense, they seemed like living, breathing mist.

"You can walk through them if you'd like," said the man who was creating them with the help of a machine. Without missing a beat, Carly walked into bubbles, letting them engulf her.

The words that hadn't formed earlier, now escaped in the form of a giggle. Carly stretched her arms out and twirled around.

"There you are," said a familiar voice.
