Chapter 2 - Flakes and Abilities

As Joebob stared at the light drizzling taps of rain on the boots he began to reminisce on the past. Looking at the muddy boots and the water surrounding them he thought about the watery bowl he resided in as a goldfish in his previous life. After the brief daze of the recalling he looked to the side of the room where he placed a desk holding a container of fish flakes.

He then took a handful of the fish flakes he had and shoved them in his mouth before spitting it out swiftly. He then thought to himself "Ahhh, they tasted quite much better when I was a goldfish."

Joebob then grabbed his goldsheesh snackers and ate a handful of those instead.

Joebob quickly went back to tapping more on his phone so that the droplets would drop in larger quantities. As he tapped more and more he saw the number of rain droplet dropped on the top of his screen go up and up making the screen all the more rainy. "Yes!" he thought to himself while playing with all the game's nice intricacies. He didn't know what exactly the higher number did but was much more concerned with how much higher it might be.

As Joebob tapped his screen the number slowly rose up from 20 to 30 to 40 then to 50. "Ding!"

Joebob scanned the screen with his eyes and saw a new section opened up titled "Abilities"

He tapped the section and read its contents out loud "Water splash hmmm. It says that it let's a bucket of water fall onto the boots."

He pressed and activated the ability. Outside the window he heard a large splash.

He looked out and saw that there was now a large puddle around the pair of boots.

A flicker of light traced the corner of his eyes distracting him from the puddled boots. "Ahh, it's the light from the mirrors! The glaring lights are everywhere."

"The sun is just so lovely" he sighed with a shiny smile.
