I passed my reflection in the window of a parked car on the side of the road. Something stopped me in my tracks. I stepped backward in slow motion. A replay; so I could look at myself again in reverse.

I saw myself levitating inside an Iridescent shell, with fireflies, and... tiny bubbles floating out all around me. Heat shimmered off the surface intensely, giving the thing a crazy, visible spidey sense.

"What do you want... ?"

I puzzled over this for a moment. Expression downshiftting from spacey befuddlement to wtf.

The car peeled out and sped away, and a big puff of dust rushed in to fill the space.
