I didn’t have the same strength as Nico. The lights were dim, but it seemed like a warehouse of sorts. There were other cages I noticed when I got my eyes to focus more, although far apart from each other. I didn’t see Sanda. I was thirsty, parched. “Water.” I looked at Mama. She nodded and went to shout at the men, holding onto the bars of the cage. “Hey, we need water here!” They ignored her. “Hey, I said we need water. Please.” One of the men came over with a large bottle of water. “You want this?” he smirked at her.

Being part of their family had turned me into a people-pleaser, always putting my own needs last. But I used to be easygoing. I used to know how to live for myself. So I blocked all of them and never saw another message. Over the next month, I traveled around the country. When I got back, I found a new job. After work, Felix and I would get together and practice making street food, hoping to turn it into a side hustle.

It was a long and treacherous climb, but Lana refused to give up. After what felt like hours, Lana finally made it to the top of the cliff. She looked out and saw that she was on a small island, surrounded by the vast ocean. She could see no signs of civilization or any boats. She felt like crying, but she knew that she had to be strong. Lana started to walk along the edge of the island, hoping to find some food or water. As she walked, she stumbled upon a small stream. She fell to her knees and drank the water greedily. She felt a little better now that she had something to quench her thirst.

Waylon found the path easily enough. “STOP!” “KILL THEM!” Shit. Shit. Shit. They were close but we were still faster than them. Being royal and an alpha has its perks. The sounds of running water was faint but slowly got louder and louder. Jumping over some fallen logs, we finally stood at the water’s edge. The waterfall was massive. It sent mist into the air, making our clothes wet even before we got in the water. “The papers will get wet.” Waylon said as he looked for a place to get into the water.

She asserts, " What? We have nothing to offer because everything has fallen apart. Here, even mineral-infused filtered water is useless. I still need to get clean water out of the running water, and I need to boil it first to kill any bacteria that could cause amoebiasis or other gastrointestinal disorders.” As her gaze shifts to her Ate Lorie, who has begun to feed her elder brother's pet carabao with a bunch of green bananas, she takes pleasure in watching the animal masticate the food while tilting its head. She didn't say anything; she just looked and talked about the problems. Until they both made the decision to embrace their lack of everything and whatever negative emotions that go al

people would sell you in a heartbeat if it meant feeding their kids. She forced the dry bread down. It was tough to swallow without any water. She didn’t want to think about what the man—George is what he said his name was—would ask in return for some water. Without being a resident to a city, water was like liquid gold in the wasteland. She’d have to sell a lot more than the measly crap she had in her satchel.

“I’m not going anywhere. You’re the one who should leave.” I cross the packed-earth floor in two steps and reach for one of the plastic water jugs I use to catch rainwater. I pour water into my favorite cup, a tall, red plastic glass that you can see through when you hold it up to the light, that I found floating in the swamp one day after a flood. Maybe it’ll let the light shine from Mama again, too. I turn and make haste back to her side. Crouching, I lift her head with one hand and try to get her to drink some water with the other. “Come on, Mama. Just a little water.” The water simply drips onto her face and pours off her chin.

"They're fading. I've listened to them talk. It's the water. They all drink from the same source." As dusk began to paint the sky in shades of bruise, he led her to the community's lifeline: a shallow, sluggish stream that trickled down from a rusted pipe emerging from the mountain rock above. Women with sunken eyes filled cracked buckets wearily, their movements slow and robotic. Listless children sat in the murky shallows, barely splashing their feet.

Every page showed a Clause through a child's world—a lunchbox halved in two, a broom handed from hand to hand, a whispered story read twice to ensure it remained. A girl's hand was up. "Is this a real book?" The volunteer grinned. "It's as real as the hands that made it." The girl gazed down at her own fingers, bending as if to test their weight. --- 10:06 AM — Irrigation Channel, Rebuilt Plains Water flowed through concrete channels—clean, deliberate, slow. Dense stands of kangkong lined both sides. The edge of the channel had a sign with the tattered lettering of Clause Twelve: Access is not a gift. It is a right based on the mundane.

Meazus had told Deanna about the suit. The woman, who was actually fighting her fear, tried to go through the passageway wearing a suit that looked like a raincoat. “I won't let us die here. I still want to hear my babies say their first words, and I'm also waiting for the twins' first steps.” They had been there for almost twelve hours and hadn't gotten a single drop of water. Deanna also needed water because she was breastfeeding the twins. The woman didn't want to let her ego get in the way of staying there without doing anything, while they all needed water and food.
