Hard times


Life in F. Land is getting harder. Lucy feels that if she doesn't try harder, she will float away. Not expelled from F. Land but swept. Pity. Because she wants to be in F. Land. Oh dear, how much she wants it! Her life is a bubble in the green of F. Land, a bubble of bubble-happiness in her bubble-garden with her bubble-mate. Lots of pink and golden bubbles. But now she is afraid.
Fear is a bad thing. Fear keeps Lucy away from her fancy life. Nothing like fear to revert human nature to its internal beast. All sort of bubbles explode under fear.
Lucy had a bet. She lost. Years later she's still recovering.
Though she feels that, perhaps, she's ready to bet again.

She has nothing to fear except fear itself?
Poor Lucy, scarred by bets from another lifetime.
