SITUATION

A breakdown in domestic water supply

CHARACTERS

• President of a municipal corporation
• A harangued home-maker
• Founder of a fund-raising startup
• Seller of water tankers
• A poet/writer

COMPLEXITIES WHICH CAN BE ADDED

Work-from-home scenarios, Covid, weather or whatever you can think of.

TASK

Write a story as small as a sentence, or as large as 500 words, or somewhere in between. I promise to read the entire piece.

If you can tell a poetic tale or write a ballad, you are most welcome to do it.

The story has to be from the perspective of any one of the given characters. The other characters in the piece can be one or more of those listed here or any other character you can introduce in the plot. No restrictions on those self-driven bots which take over your thoughts.
