"Her Bubble of Happiness" by Pnina Osguthorpe
Software: Vue 6 Infinite

Author comments: She opened her eyes to an unfamiliar environment. A celebration of colors. Swirls of shimmering shapes. Loud luminous lights, silent soothing shadows.
Something really good must have happened. 'What was it? All I remember is gray drizzle, blinding white flakes, heavy dark clouds, muddy water, piercing wind, hot and cold...'.
Swaying greens below and above her, enclosed by a thin transparent sphere. 'Good, all round no corners to sulk in with or without reason' A riot of chaotic life just outside. 'Not menacing but not inviting. Or is it inviting and menacing?' She smiled at her bubble: 'I'm so safe here, my own space'. A glimpse of her reflection, joyful. 'Dancing? Never realized I knew how...' She shrugged and continued to dance 'What ever it was, what ever happened, I better be happy very quickly and so intensely!'
Vibrations propagating, deflected echoes, repeated, intensified.
The tide is swelling, rising inside and out.

The bubble quivers.
