Synopsis

You hear the bus horn beeping as you, with misgivings, cram the last few items into your backpack, close it, and shoulder it on. It's Saturday, time for the first trip of the Junior Hikers your parents forced you to join. Short, chubby, and extremely shy, you've kept to yourself since your beloved, if eccentric, great-aunt died over the winter. As is your wont, before leaving, you spin the globe she gave you for your tenth birthday.
But it's stuck. That's funny; you've turned it a million times before, dreaming of your own little world on endless afternoons. Its wide blue oceans and rugged, snow-capped mountains are even more vivid now, almost as if they're expanding as you watch. Or are you getting smaller?
The room does a slow-fade to black; you lose your balance and tumble forward with a cry. Not for long--umph! You land unsteadily, but on your feet, upon a white circle. No wait, it's more like a dome, because it bends downward in every direction....

Notes
