Flobella is a creatress but doesn't know it.
Orphaned when she was four, twelve-year-old Flobella now lives a sad, drab
life with her cruel aunt and uncle. Only painting and the
maybe-memory of a woman who might be her mother hugging her in a
purple garden makes her feel alive. But one day while painting, the
swirl of colors begins to lift off the page, revealing a tiny fairy
named Mumu whom Flobella follows through the spiral into the Creative
Idea Dimension, a land of imagination and ideas.

When Flobella misses her opportunity to exit the spiral, the only way home

lives beyond the door and can help her find her way. Along her
fantastical journey, she meets an array of magical creatures, each of
whom presents a different creative path. But in a world of
possibilities, she must find her own way, and the
ruminudgies will do anything to stop her from fulfilling her destiny,
as the dimension of creativity hangs in the balance…

Flobella looked down at the
shiny floor and noticed a cat was laying only a few feet away from her,
stretching its
exceptionally long body from one side of the
cottage to the other. The cat extended its front paws, dipped its
shoulders, curved its back like a crescent
moon, and lengthened its hind legs as its paws slid in either direction
across the slippery floor, until its tummy was
resting on the wooden sheen.
“Oh my, that’s the longest cat I’ve ever seen,” Flo exclaimed.
“Why, he looks like many cats.”
“Woem! Meow! Woem! Meow!” the pale gray cat started meowing as he
arched and replicated into many pastel colors.
“Qbits, my pretty kitty,” Timette said.
“Why does he look like that?” Flobella asked.
Timette bent down and lifted the cat onto her lap and started
petting his long hair. Qbit’s body shortened like a retractable accordion and
the colors faded as he sat on Timette’s lap.
“When Qbits gets nervous, he starts to make lots of copies of
himself so he can have more possibilities. He’s a Quantum kitty! And you,
Flobella, are making him very nervous.”
“Odd, he looks like a stacked paper doll or colorful accordion
that expands and compresses,” Flo said with curiosity.
“Not odd at all! He’s only odd to you because you think
everything has to follow the rules of your dimension,” Timette scolded.
“Mumu, tell Evo he may have made a mistake. If Flobella is as creative
as he thinks she is, she wouldn’t be such a dimensionist,” Timette called out,
her words echoing through the cottage.
“I’m not a dimensionist! Flobella said in defense, “What’s a
dimensionist anyway?”
“Someone who thinks their dimension is the only one and has
trouble accepting anything different when they go into another dimension,”
Timette explained.
“That’s ridiculous! I didn’t even know I was in another
dimension.”
“You Flobella, are a dimensionist!” Timette said while pointing
her finger at Flo. “But hopefully if you spend a little time here, you won’t be
for long.”
“All I said was why does the kitty look like that?” Flo said in
her defense.
“Never mind, the important thing to remember is we’re counting on
your abilities and willingness to be open to possibility,” Timette said as she
pet Qbits.
“Now Qbits is relaxing. Poor kitty, you frightened him into more
kitties then I’ve ever seen before.”
“I’m sorry; I didn’t mean to frighten him. Here kitty, kitty.”
Flo bent down and pet Qbits as he wrapped his fluffy body around her legs and
started purring.
“Aw, he’s so cute. I think I rather like a cat with many
possibilities. It makes them extra fluffy.”
Qbits started purring
loudly as he continued to circle around and around Flo’s legs.
Timette bent down and
unraveled Qbits from Flo’s legs and said, “Now, now Qbits, you be a good little
kitty and run along.”
