Although Jacob did not know this man, he could hardly float idly by and watch him be smashed by this harbinger of doom, this garbage truck.  Jacob tried to propel himself in the direction of Malcolm, but found that, as the old saying went "It's harder to walk on air than on land".  Frustrated at his own ineptitude, Jacob realized this man was doomed, unless...      "I wish that the garbage truck would not hit this man", stated in grim desperation, not really expecting anything to occur.  But, to the surprise of Jacob, and even moreso to the surprise of Malcolm, the garbage truck passed directly through Malcolm, and continued as if nothing had happened.      Surely, thought Malcolm, this was some miracle of God, for had he not seen an angel only minutes before? Malcolm decided to sit down, and think of a more logical solution to this conundrum.  However, as he planted his chin on his hand, or rather attempted to, it passed right through!!      "No," thought Jacob, "this isn't supposed to be how it works."  "Oh well", he thought, "there is a simple solution to this problem. I wish that this stranger would regain solidity"  At that point, Jacob thought he heard an evil chuckle, but he quickly dismissed it.     Meanwhile, Malcolm, thinking he was dreaming, decided to adopt his second favourite thinking pose, and leaned against the nearby wall.  Jacob, having recently  completed his newest wish, watched in dismay as Malcolm passed right through the wall, falling onto the ground.  His wish hadn't worked!!      Why can't Jacob reverse his wish?  Will Malcolm ever get a break?  What was that chuckle?  All these questions and more might be answered in the next thrilling chapter of:        The Absolutely Super Adventures of Jacob Remington.....
