Gabby - Atmosphere


She dives into the indoor pool at the REC center

Her mind seems to drift into an arbitrary atmosphere
as her physical body becomes submerged under  chlorinated  water
 isolating the movement of her functioning lungs she looks up at the rippling waters surface
 She lies belly up and the water around her  incases her every shape and imperfection.
 She prefers this place, which fits and shifts to her every move, 
the atmosphere of her own creation

Gabby, age 16
