GASP!
When Jake regained consciousness, he felt the caress of the wind and the brightness of the sun imprinting his retina behind his closed eyelids. He couldn't feel any ground under his feet.
'A dream? Shouldn't I be dead?'
Confused, it was his only coherent thought when he opened his eyes. Despite clear memories of his last minutes of life, he could barely tell the difference between dream and reality.
However, his face stiffened and paled drastically when he recognized the place where he was. An azure blue sky without clouds, a bright yellow sun, the ocean as far as the eye could see except for a giant island less than a kilometer away.
SPLASH!
Just when he realized the horror of his situation, Jake crashed into the water like a meteor, lifting a geyser of foam as he landed.
Perhaps because he had experienced this scene before, he reacted quickly this time, not forgetting to cover his nose and take a quick breath of oxygen before his big dive.
