Behind a magic veil, animals roam freely in Merry Fun which teems with liveliness. Herds run. Predators leap and pounce. Insects swarm. Centaurs, mermaids, unicorns, cyclops, dryads, naiads, kirin, nymphs, and satyrs live here.
They enjoy each other’s company.
“You may be anyone,” says the Guide.
Visitors stay as long as they please.
“I will always carry the mermaid I was inside of me,” says Miss Doe Friend to Miss Emeline Traveler. “It’s a beloved place and ever so friendly.”
“I share Merry Fun's location only with true fun-seekers," Miss Emeline replies. "The denizens love each other and care for one another’s happiness, but fun for fun’s sake isn’t everyone’s cup of tea.”
Anyone may take the portal to Joy, the bright, colorful capitol, from Merry Fun at any place or time. Here denizens sing, whistle, and dance. Families stroll with babes in arms. Friends gather in fits of laughter.
“All are welcome,” says the Guide.
“Except,” some whisper. “The joyless.”
Bubble domes make Joy and they become thin and pop over time — otherwise everyone would stay. When that dome pops Joy sends denizens back to the land from whence they came.
“Come back soon! You are always welcome!” the Joyful say, waiting for the new dome of Joy to rise.
