The time of the month has come again. The townsfolk could always rely on Jerry Tyler to deliver 20,000 gallons of water to the town of Kali like clockwork every month.The timing is perfect this month. That is because, in relation to time, there is only 1 hour of water left in the water tank reservoir. Everybody is anxiously waiting for Jerry to arrive.What happens next is disturbing. A news report indicates that there is a 20 vehicle pile up on the highway, about 150 miles outside of town. It is the only artery into Kali. The traffic has been halted probably for several hours. Suddenly, the to...
