Girl Blowing Bubbles at Harbor Edge

Copper-toned light spills across a girl standing at the edge of a harbor in Carrollton, her breath forming a stream of iridescent bubbles that float upward against heavy overcast skies. She wears a thick early winter coat, the wool texture visible in the molten side light that cuts across her profile. Behind her, a corridor stretches into the distance, lined on both sides by identical wooden doors that should reveal rooms but instead open into empty, flat walls. The water of the harbor laps quietly against the concrete edge, reflecting the dull gray of the clouds. The girl holds a simple wand, her hand steady as she blows. One bubble catches the copper glow, displaying a spectrum of colors before drifting toward the impossible doors.
