PROMPT #168
Well, there are more terms and conditions in this prompt than any other episode of the Exploration Challenge. Enjoy the difference 🙂
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.
Create a post on your blog, and copy-paste the link in Comments. In case you are using a pingback, do check back to see if it has worked.

I stare at the faucet with hope in my heart
Will it reward me with a gush of clean water
Or will a dribble of cloudy brown liquid will come
When I’ll turn it on early in the morning for my ablutions
Should I tell it a story of a brave faucet that overcame all odds
Or recite to it a loving ode written in its praise
I need water………….
But I have no technical skill only my poetry
To induce or encourage it to pour out a handful of clean water
It’s a struggle to be on time if there is no clean water to assist me
In my morning rituals!
