“Breaking the Bubble” by Aaron Johnson
The family that lived on Brucksbin Avenue sought out very original ways of staying within themselves. First there was Betty Bubbles, who loved nothing in the world better than surrounding herself with her soft, furry, warm and fuzzy stuffed animals. She had 92 in all, and they covered nearly every square inch of the floor and bed. She loved to immerse herself in them so she could not be seen by anybody in the outside world. She had a name for this place that she called Bettlonia. In here, she felt safe and warm, and quite comfortable and quite content in her cushy invisibility. Betty Bubbles is only six years old, and has an older brother named Lucas.
Lucas Bubbles’ favorite place in the entire world is inside the chimney. Lucas loves to get dirty, so dirty in fact that it is almost impossible to tell who he is with all that ash and soot covering his face. Since Lucas is always inside it, the Bubbles never use the fireplace, and have placed a plank of wood on top of the chimney in order to keep bugs and birds and other things outside from getting in their house. His favorite place is right in the middle of the chimney: not too close to the bottom so he can’t be seen, and not too close to the top in case he might accidentally knock the wood plank out of place. He likes the middle best because when his mother calls for him, he can stay silent as an oak tree, and still as a rock, and pretend he is just one of the bricks, part of the chimney. Lucas Bubbles is nine years old. Neither Lucas nor Betty have ever been outside of their house. (Read on …)
