Peepers' Pitt--Water Rights

Charlie Decaye

Peepers’ Pitt--New Crew Askew pt. 14 of 20: “Water Rights”

Charlie Decaye struggled as the EMT man held him from behind in a chokehold!  The insane man had attacked Decaye before he could drink from the pool of water.  Decaye was amazed at the strength of the EMT man, and it took all he could to move his arm from around his neck!  Decaye then twisted the EMT man’s arm behind his back.  The EMT man turned and looked at Decaye in the face for the first time and began to scream!  It was as if he was suddenly conscious of the horrible pumpkin face that was Decaye’s head!  He then blanked out again, as his eyes crossed and his body tensed up.  He broke the grip of Decaye and shoved the pumpkin-headed horror away from himself!

The EMT man then turned and went over to the pool of water and squatted in it!  Decaye could not figure out the EMT man, and didn’t really want to.  However, it seemed that they were stuck together, like it or not!  Decaye went over to the edge of the water and got a drink, carefully watching to see if the EMT man would react.  There was no reaction whatsoever this time.  It appeared that he wanted to be the first one to interact with the pool and didn’t care if someone drank from it after.  Decaye soon stopped drinking from the water when he saw a yellow liquid in water near the EMT man.  The insane man had gone in the pool!  Now there was nothing to drink and nowhere to go.  Decaye felt that they should continue walking, but did not know if there would be any use in a desert that seemed to go on forever!

Decaye sat down with his feet in the pool and watched the EMT man as he tried to figure out what to do.  He felt the wind pick up, and when he looked over to the direction it was coming from, he saw something moving in the distance!  At first, it was too far away to tell what it was, but as it grew closer, it appeared to be a white stretch of cloth that billowed in the air…
