55 - Water

More precious than gold, it winds its way through parched earth, turning all it touches to green. This thin ribbon of life slakes our thirst and nourishes our hopes, bringing magic where once there was only dust.Without it, we are nothing, but here in the high desert badlands, he who has water is rich.


About Friday Flash 55: The challenge is to write a complete story in fifty-five words. If you've written a 55-flash, go let The G-Man know!

What a timely and meaningful flash 55. Water, our most undervalued resource. Just ask anyone here in the water-logged state of Michigan. I love your last line. Love your 55.
