Complications

The Power of Imagination. Of course, they could already use it; anyone could. That was the problem: too many people were using the Power, tapping it, stretching it thin. If they could find the source of that power, they could cut the people off; they'd have it all to themselves. Sure, it might cause a few complications, but as Captain had said, "So what?"

It wouldn't be too hard, either. Out here at the end of the world*, things couldn't quite figure out how things were supposed to be. They'd already used that to their advantage: while Reality was distracted, paying attention to the panic in the balloon above, the boys had pulled the cords dangling from their belts, and their empty packs had sprung great feathered wings.

Their landing had been a little rough, but really, there wasn't much opportunity to practice.

* Also known by the Scientific Community as God's Gap, the Creator's Crevice, and That Really Big Drop That Makes Us So Much Money.
