While the men were discussing the effects of the muscle enhancements of the coral, Chris’ younger nephew was outside of the beach house wading in the water when a small piece of coral washed up on shore.
When Ethan spotted the coral, he took a plastic bucket and filled it with sea water so he could place the coral in it.
As soon as Ethan touched the coral with his hands, the white object let off a strange, white glow, which made all of Ethan’s muscles tingle like crazy. But, the boy found the feeling rather nice, so he took the coral home in the bucket.
Ethan used an old glass fishbowl where he dumped the seawater into it and gently placed the coral in, so he could have it right on the dresser by his bed. He put his night light over it so it was illuminated at night.
15-year-old Ethan went to bed that night, not realizing he would never be the same again....
