Just A Puddle

THERE'S SOMETHING IN THE WATER by Simeon Gregory is a short story about contaminated water bringing about the apocalypse. Nothing is revealed about the organism in the water. The narrator mentions very little about the state of the world, after contaminating most of the population. No details about how the organism affects humans. Even for a flash fiction piece, there isn't much going on.

There is a moment of action, when the storyline finally picks up, followed by an abrupt ending. Gregory can do better than this.

As always,
