Vivia

THE WOMAN UPSTAIRS is about good old spontaneous combustion of a human. HUMAN ATMOSPHERE seems to be about the 1780s discovery of a scanner that could make the human aura visible or else a medical scanner like the very modern ones which show various parts of the body in different colors or temperatures, such as lighting up part of the brain for language, etc. very original. Rose Pagliasi (sp) is a little girl whose refusal to return to something threatening in THE ROOM UPSTAIRS has surprising cause.

Quirky but cool.
