Reality Hopping
In this story you can hop between realities following these rules:
No more then
- 1 a Day
- 6 a Week
- 20 every 4 weeks
- 50 every 12 weeks
- 180 every 48 weeks
These measurements are based on your home reality.
Your home reality is the one where you start your journey from.
When you hop to another reality you switch your mind with anybody who is there already.
If you hop to a different reality then your home reality from another reality then:
Reality 3 contains you.
Reality 2 contains the person from reality 3
Your home reality contains the person from reality 2
If someone dies then the person whose reality he/she home reality changes to that of the person who died. (Using the example above , if the person in your home reality dies your home reality becomes reality 2. If the person in reality 2 dies then the home reality of the person from reality 2 becomes
3.)

Wait.... am I really in another reality?
You open your eyes, shielding them from the bright light as they adjust. As everything dims down, you find yourself in a small wooden shack, laying in a small bed. It isn't fancy, just a mattress to provide cushioning, and a thin blanket that doesn't do much to shield from the cold.
Pulling the sheet off, you climb out of bed and look around. The room is a little spartan. An old wooden dresser is pressed firmly against the wall to the left of the bed, barely big enough to hold more than a dozen articles of clothing, with a tiny window just above it, sun light shining through. To the right of your bed is a doorway, no door, leading to another room.
You walk over to the dressed, open it up, and to your surprise find your clothes in there. Not the clothes you'd think someone else would wear. These are the clothes you had back in your world. Same pants, shirt, socks, and underwear.
Almost immediately, you feel something's not right. Still barefoot, you walk to the other room, and find it appears to be a small living room and kitchen, a small coal stove in the corner with a metal pipe snaking out above it, through the roof. There is a small TV in another corner of the room, an old CRT box tv, like those made at the turn of the century before flat screens became common place, with a 2 seater sofa facing it directly.
Glancing around, you try to find a mirror to look into, and see one over a sink. As you approach it, the feeling of dread slowly comes over you, and as soon as your reflection comes into view, it's quickly replaced by shock.
Staring back at you, the body you are in, is yours! The exact same body you had before you jumped. Every detail, from the length and color of your hair, to the size of your feet and color of your skin, is the same. Even you're underwear is the same as before. What is going on here? Did you really jump to another reality, or is someone pulling a prank and actually shipped you off somewhere in your world? And if you did jump, did that mean there was more than one of you, other versions of you in other worlds?

Zoo
Perhaps if the house has not changed the area outside has? Looking outside you see what used to be houses down the hill across the road has been replaced by a zoo. And not just any zoo but a large sized one. Also it seems like they are having a promotion to celebrate their grand opening.
Heading over you find that the entry is free for the first week, unfortunately most of the animals are yet to arrive. You also are handed a map and find out the hill is only the front of the zoo, the plains behind it also are now part of the zoo. There also seems to be an aquatic area, an aviary, and a reptile house. It seems this zoo will have every kind of animal imaginable, once they have arrived.
You ask the guide "What happened with the animals that has delayed them."
He sighs "Well we ran into some problems in our last location. People ended up missing and we got blamed, so the animals are still there while we set up here. Once we are settled, then we can move the animals here. What is your favorite animal by the way?"

Dolphin
"Dolphin" you say to the zookeeper.
"Ah! We don?t have any of those yet. But if you?d like you can see the enclosure."
"Sure" you say "Is it nearby?"
She opens a door. "See for yourself. When you are ready to leave just say the word."
"Quite convenient" you say walking through "Do I have free run or only certain sections?"
"Free run of course! It will be your home after all." She says.
"What?" you say "Did you say it would be my home? What do you mean?"
She blinked. "I just misspoke. yes you have free run, let me know when you are ready to leave. Explore all you wish though."
You nod and look around , the lagoon seems a lot larger than every other enclosure. The viewing areas seem to be hidden, or perhaps you are just not looking in the right areas.
The water...the water looks so clear, so crystalline. Its a vibrant blue...it makes you want to swim.
You take off your shirt and dive in. The pool is just as clear underwater. You swim before surfacing and spot the zoo keeper on the shore waiting for you. "How many are you planning to house here?" you ask.
"Two for now. A male and a female. The male will be ready soon. The female will likely join him shortly after. We?ll expand later."

Ask for more
"It is so big. I would think you could fit more in here then just two. I think they would be lonely with just two."
"Hmmm...that is a point. Would it make you happy to have other dolphins there?" She asked.
You nod. "I would be worried about just two. Most dolphin pods do contain more than just two after all. "
"You seem to have given this a lot of thought young man." She smiles at the sight of a discolored patch of skin on your arm.
"I just have done some research, they are my favorite animal after all."
"I think you would make a good one yourself." She said jokingly.
"Perhaps in another life. I am human in this life."
"I tell you what, go home and think on it." The Zookeeper said.
"Sure." you say " Although it would take some breakthrough in science to change people though."
She laughs. "We?ll see. Keep your eyes open on your way home. Some things are changing."
"What is so funny?" you ask.
"Let?s just say life around this town is going to be a lot...wetter." She said, and walked out.
You hop out of the water and look around and with no towel in sight, put your shirt on without bothering to dry.

Look around the zoo
You head back out from the exhibit, and look around the zoo. It seems like you are in the aquatic section, you spot many people in the exhibits, you wave to them but it is almost like they can't see you.
You find your way to a restaurant and the waiter smiles at you. "Welcome" she says "Have you gone into an exhibit?"
You nod "The dolphins"
She nods "Sounds like you want a fish dish then."
You smile "Sure."
She comes back and places a pile of raw fish on the table. You notice that she seems to have fins for ears. You shake your head in shock. "Miss? Your ears...what's wrong with them?" You ask, ignoring your fish.
"What do you mean?" she asks.
"They are fins!"
"Thank you. Our costume designers are quite good" she says laughing.
"They look real."
She looks around before reaching up to her ears and pulling the fin off to show you. Now her ear is human. "See, costume."
"Oh.." You look to your fish as she walks away. They are definitely raw..but...you shake your head. Ewww.
Still they are free, perhaps they might be ok?

Eat the fish
You pick up a fish and put it in your mouth, biting down...immediately you spit it out, but there was something about that tast...
You take the next one and swallow it, followed shortly by the rest of the fish on the plate. You give a burp, surprised at eating all those raw fish...speaking of eating, were your teeth a bit sharper...and did you swallow all those whole?
Your thoughts are interrupted by a beach ball bopping you on the head. "And now for the next stage of the behind the scene experience. Dolphin training" you hear as the waiter returned.
You look up and see the waiter there...in a sleek blue dolphin trainer's suit. "Ummm...why?" You ask.
"The full behind the scene experience. You get a dolphin training session as the dolphin."
"Okay...crazy lady...I'll go now." You say, standing up.
"Don't you want more fish? That is part of the session as well"
You notice her ears extending into deep blue fins again and run out in shock, grabbing a fish on the way.
