Zachary didn't know how he had gotten here either. That was strange. But this whole place was strange. And it only seemed stranger the more Jake thought about it. What kind of tropical island had squirrels? This island seemed almost too good to be true. The pessimist in Jake thought that is something seemed too good to be true, it probably was. He started to worry then that he would wake up at any moment and this beautiful island with its magnificent beach would be gone. And Jake would find himself on some filthy street corner in the pouring rain once again.

"Hey Jake, did you notice? That hut on the end is some kind of smoothy bar."

Jake looked up at Zach as he was asked a question then turned to look in the direction the man was looking. "I can't say I did" he replied "But then I can't say I really pay much attention to anything with fruit."

"But it is [i]there[/i], correct?" He side, keeping his voice steady but never moving his eyes from the dog. Deliberately not looking where he'd indicated the bar was. "And further down this beach, there's a long wooden pier where you can rent jet skies? And right behind us, over to left, is a large striped beachball next to a sand castle? Jake, I think something very odd is happening. I apologize if this sounds crazy, but please look around and confirm that these things [i]exist[/i]."

There were people in the world that possessed abilities far greater than his own, and he realized in that moment that he couldn't recall his own. Why was that? He knew he had one. What could possibly make him forget? It was like forgetting your hands, or sight. These little dissonances that kept welling up, what were they? "This place...there's something wrong. There might be some sort of [i]ability[/i] at work."
