“Where’s Charlie?” Suzy says.
“He’s not here!” Joy says, stomping her foot on the deck.
I look at Justin. Justin shakes his head. “He was here. We saw him when we came in, there was a storm, then, he vanished.”
“He woke up?” Suzy asks.
Justin nods. “Then we waited, and a few minutes later he appeared again.”

Suzy and I head off the old-fashioned way through the streets of Toronto back to Justin’s apartment. It’s not far. We made it here on foot, we’ll make it back.
The sky hasn’t turned stormy in a few minutes, and I hope the issue with Charlie is resolved.
In the meantime, I’m enjoying a walk through the streets of my city with my wife.
“I’ve missed Toronto,” Suzy tells me as we walk.
“Yeah?”
“Just walking through the streets. I’ve been here and there, we’ve eaten here. So many memories. We’ve been in Justin’s dream for, what, a year and a half?”

We look up. “Something’s happening,” Suzy says. “You should go. I’ll walk.”
“Nope. I’m with you. We’re together.”
Suddenly the sky is clear of clouds and the storm is gone. Something is definitely happening.
“Come on, Suzy, click it and try. This is an adventure!”
Her eyes don’t light up like mine or like Justin’s or like Joy’s at the sound of harmless ‘adventure’.
She touches the button reluctantly and jets into the sky at breakneck speed. “Aaaaaaah!”

Getting closer to the land mass in this ‘Toronto Planet’, we see that the mass only includes one city: Toronto. It looks now just as it looks in the waking world from the air.
“Wow, is that where you live?” Joy leans over the railing. “It’s like a city we have adventures in!”
“Is it?” Justin looks at it sideways.
“What’s that?” she points to the highest tower.
“That’s that CN Tower,” Justin answers. “It’s been there since forever.”

Season 2 begins! Joy is older!
My name is Walter, Walter Shelley.
I am standing on a small grassy island, looking at a huge wooden pirate ship docked right in front of me. My son has named it Bonny’s Revenge.
This has never happened before in my life. But it’s absolutely normal.
Behind me is my apartment. My nice, little, comfortable, fully-paid-for apartment, which is actually in Toronto, Canada. It’s also here, an exact replica, in the middle of a small island, in the middle of an ocean, under two suns, in the middle of my son’s dream.
