Chapter 2 THE BABY IN THE BUBBLE The Missouri sky frothed. Clouds wrenched upward, then burst into horizontal columns as explosions of light dashed from one formation to the next. It was August, 1944. This was a day just two months before 178,000 troops had pushed through the gray fog and landed on the coast of Europe, and one year before the sky over Japan burst into atomic chaos. But here, now, for most of the people of St. Louis, the churning atmosphere meant nothing more threatening than rain. If anyone had paused to take more than a brief glance at the heavens they might have seen that these clouds were different. Different from the thunderheads that precipitate the air mass thunderstorms, which are so common to the summer skies of the Midwest. If anyone did pause and study the phenomenon, they left no record of their observations. In Kirkwood, Missouri, just a few miles from St. Louis, I was the five year old girl who stood in her yard and gazed up at the fast changing cumulus. I knew that the strange clouds were the sign that the strangers were coming. “Um hum.” Better get ready, I thought. I giggled and ran inside, saying aloud to myself. “Dolly.” My mother, busy with dinner preparations, turned, I suppose, just in time to see me disappearing down the hallway. “Where’re you... ” “Attic.” I called over my shoulder. I was in a hurry. I didn’t want to have to explain. I was sure she knew I visited with those people sometimes. 18

In the attic, I knelt on the rough floor, I clutched the doll and focused my gaze on the empty space in front of me as I’d been taught by them. I focused and concentrated on what was occupying the void between me and the sloped ceiling of the attic. “Hello,” I said. I smiled and hugged my doll as I felt myself enveloped by the secure warmth. Like something was around me but I could still see through it. Like... like a bubble, I decided, not really a bubble, what enclosed me couldn’t be seen and even though I could see clearly from inside the space but I wasn’t sure I liked the feeling. “Yes,” I answered to the unspoken but inwardly heard communication. I remember the light tickling sensation that seemed to fill my stomach. “Yes, I’d like that.” I felt myself drawn. Drawn away from the familiar muskiness of the attic. I felt drawn to the clear air of glowing space. The earth seemed to fall away below me as I glanced about. I wasn’t frightened. Although I could see everything below, I was inside something, something that protected me. My pretend bubble, I thought. “Oh. My... what” I groped for words to express my wonder. The huge spheres came into my view. Suspended in the emptiness of the sky, were dull aluminum colored globes, the same color as my mother’s old saucepan. The globe closest to me, almost blocked my view of other, more distant orbs. “We store souls there.” an unseen companion’s voice echoed within my head. “They live inside” I turned and looked at the surrounding balls. Looked for windows. I really didn’t want to leave my transparent bubble for their metallic looking ball with no windows. I wanted transparent walls or
