 **Bubbles in the Dark** is a world [[concept:glyphic_teleportation|written]] by [[person:Enneth]]. She considers it one of her better works.

There are vast basins that might have once been oceans, tree-like patterns of trenches that might have once held rivers, but if there truly was an era when the surface was as lively as that of our own world, it is long in the past; the most common disturbances of the surface are the occasional impacts, and the craters they leave.

 But here and there on the surface -  emerging from deep drifts of dust, or covering over the smaller craters like domes, or filling the entrance to some cave - there is a transparent, if somewhat milky, bubble. These are but the topmost portions of a subterranean ecosystem that clings stubbornly to life, the last remnant of what was once a far greater ecosphere. The bubbles are fungi, or rather portions thereof, the greater whole of which serves as the basis for a precariously self-sustaining colony organism.
