I was standing at the edge of paradise when winter decided to cascade down from the sky in a rage of flurries.

I looked up, mesmerized, as my stomach fluttered with wonder. I stuck out my tongue to catch stray snowflakes as I untwined my scarf from my neck.

“You look like you’re having fun.”

I turned to see a stranger who looked awfully familiar. But I couldn’t tell if the figure was a male or a female — not that it mattered. Whoever they were, they watched me intently as if I were a fascinating puzzle to solve.

How strange.

This is my third take on the 100 Story Challenge! Lyrics define these stories, and this piece‘s title was inspired by “Bubbly” by Colbie Caillat.

If you missed out on rounds one and two, I’ve linked both my original 100 Story Challenge list as well as my 100 Faces in 100 Stories list below for your perusal if you’re curious.
