I've arrived in Hawaii for vacation. I slept the entire plane ride. I'm very happy to be there, I'm with someone who is familiar with Hawaii although I can't tell if it's because they live there or have visited before. I tell them I want to go to the beach and pick a fresh coconut. We travel through an enormous produce section with giant pyramids of exotic fruit, the only thing I recognize are coconuts.
We arrive at the beach, or rather, are walking on a path just beyond where the jungle starts. There are many trees with coconuts and I wonder how the store can sell any when they are free for the picking just a few yards away. I literally skip out onto the beach I'm so happy.
My companion takes me to another beach. We're walking through a convention center of sorts. At one point, we slide down a steep tile slope inside in plastic school chairs. We are out on the next beach and it quickly becomes night. The stars are brilliant. As I'm admiring them, static electricity like balls begin falling through the sky in the distance, coming towards us. Someone behind me yells that a physician says the balls may be harmful and for everybody to get inside. My body will only move in slow motion as I try to make it up a hill to the closest building. The electricity balls are falling around me, breaking into a shower of white sparks over whatever they hit.
