As Jim, hidden beneath the fold in the blanket, watched and debated, Damian lifted a bare foot and stepped onto the blanket.
Jim stared out at the huge foot. He tried to move his gaze higher, along the redwood-trunk sized leg.
Damian, who stood 6'5", looked more than 150 feet tall. To tiny Jim, now only three inches tall, he looked positively godlike.
Damian shifted position, spreading his legs apart. His foot moved off the blanket back onto the sand. Jim dared to stare up toward the huge giant's baggy shorts.
He stared in awe at the beefy, 225-pound football jock's massive frame. His huge head, so far above him, looked like the face on some monument. Jim had always had a secret crush on the big guy. Damian lifted a hand and swept his fingers across the cross-cropped black hair on his skull.
But, first things first. Damian continued to stand so close. And, for the moment, Jim noted, the giant football player remained standing still. He decided to run toward him.
Jim barely made a dash from beneath the fold in the blanket when something heavy smashed down on top of him.

Staring down while his other two buddies stared toward the surf, Damian saw a glimpse of movement. He could not believe his eyes at first. Then, when he determined he wasn't seeing things, and noticing that Joe and Ron hadn't noticed anything peculiar, he dropped a massive hand toward the sand near his feet.
"What the hell are you doing, Damian?" Joe asked, turning back toward the blanket.
Damian felt something kicking, although rather feebly and weakly, under his hand. He quickly scooped up his prize and closed his fingers around it.
"Nothing," Damian lied, and he shoved his hand into a deep pocket in his shorts.
Ron and Joe gave their buddy some funny looks.
Damian flashed them a dazzling grin and told them he felt like taking a stroll.
"Well, if you see Jim, send him this way," Ron said.
"Sure thing," Damian answered.
He felt some puny thrashing inside his pocket...and quickly decided he liked the feeling.
