The Probable Future of Water

..... I woke up, a Monday morning, I walked out of my room, Demi was outside the house, along with many people.. then she walked back inside and told me.

Demi: Water's over

.. I simply thought that we just needed another water supply until Demi said: 

Demi: really Joseph... it is over.. the world is dry now

Me: why? ... what ..what happened?

Demi: simple human nature... we wasted that resource.. 

Me: that means.. we just sit here and die?

Demi: ... come here.. 

Demi took me to our room, she had a huge supply of water.. probably the last one on Earth. There ere about 30 bottles of water inside.. only for a week.. yet if used wisely.. they could last longer.

Demi: listen, we must not tell anybody about this supply.. but I'm sure there's water around the planet.. somewhere.. we'll go find it.. alright? that's why we need the water.. listen .. its either go.. or wait here for the sun to fry us little by little.

Me: .. okay! I never said no...

Demi: perfect.. 

That day.. we went out to the streets.. beginning our journey. In contrast of what I thought... the beginning of the journey was scary.

Me: Demi... just in case.. do you know any weapon stores?

Demi: nope but maybe that's one

Demi and I went inside.. we bought some pistols, rifles, and of course, some ammo packages.. until .. a bypasser heard the bottles of water we were carrying.

Store clerk: what are you carrying?... water?.. 

We stayed quiet... 

clerk: gimme a bottle.. I'll give you all the weapons you want.. 
Demi: we better get out of here.. 

We ran out of the place with the guns and ammo we bought.

clerk: THEY HAVE WATER! THEY HAVE A LOT OF WATER!
Demi: Joseph! keep the bottles intact.. we gotta get out of the city!
Me: I got em! I got em!
Demi: come on!
Me: ahh bull!.. motorcyclists!
Demi: we need a vehicle.. 

Demi threw a rock to a motorcyclist,  making him fall of his motorcycle and "borrowed" it also taking the "waterbag" with her.

Demi: Joseph! get up here!

I ran to the motorcycle

Demi: Joseph! watch out!

A dehydrated man with a knife ran towards me and I shot his leg... then I kicked the knife away from him and quickly told him

Me: you'll thank me for this... trust me..

I ran and rode the motorcycle with Demi towards Death Valley

News Caster: there are still rumors that huge water deposits are hidden at Death Valley National Park.

... As we continued to Death Valley, halfway,we were on a desert area. The heat was rising... then Demi suddenly pushed me off and threw herself away from the motorcycle along with the water.

Demi: GET DOWN!

The motorcycle exploded due to intense heat.

Demi: I .. sorta saw this coming..

Me: uh... me not.. scary much?

Demi: I guess we'll keep walking... use the water wisely.

Later.. we were tired, I was drinking water and sitting over an old chair at an abandoned house.

Demi: you okay Joseph?

Me: I hope Demi... I hope I'm okay.. want some water?

Demi: yeah .. a small drink ..

Demi drank some water from the bottle.. suddenly.. a man bursted in.. he fell, coughing, he was getting dehydrated.

Me: what do we do?

Demi: .. he's not dying on my sight..

Demi and I gave him the bottle of water.. he drank and breathed irregularly until he was okay.

Man: gah! thanks.. who are you?

Demi: my name's Demi, he's Joseph.. we're trying to find water.. they say there are deposits at Death Valley.

Man: how can they be there?!. Death Valley is dry since before the drought!

Demi: we heard rumors and we're not taking any chances... here .. we'll leave you this bottle.. be wise.. drink in sips.. not in slurps...

Demi and I kept walking towards Death Valley... then we mysteriously saw helicopters flying by.. we were on  a ghost village in the middle of the desert... we saw a helicopter landing with a few, apparently.. armed people who were conserving the water for themselves... some were even bathing themselves with it like if they were in a spa.

Demi: I'm sometimes ashamed of what humanity does.

Me: same.. I spent a long time taking long baths, washing my hands excessively, and we ended up like this..

Demi: don't feel too guilty, everyone caused this.

Me: off topic, how come the helicopter haven't exploded with this heat?

Demi: maybe they're made of some kind of hard aluminium

As soon as they walked away from the helicopter, Demi and I ran towards it.

hostile: what the? .. MY CHOPPER!

Demi: remember.. people are dying.. and they need this water..

Me: .. okay.. I take the turret.

Demi: for the people!

Demi and I began firing at the water thieves, bullets, missiles, everything from the chopper, trying not to destroy the water deposits... until a thief shot a rocket towards the chopper's tail.. and we crashed.

Everything was in huge silence, Demi and I just heard the creepy steps of the hostiles crushing the dirt and approaching the chopper... Demi suddenly threw a grenade out towards them, neutralizing some, Demi walked out, her boots stepped firmly on the ground behind the chopper, then she suddenly ran towards the water deposits, I stepped out, everything seemed so slow, probably the adrenaline.

Demi: For the world!

A hostile was about to take down Demi, then I pulled him back, punching him twice, I shot the two other hostiles. I heard the radio and tried calling for some reinforcements.

Soldier: ...one of our choppers has been stolen, yet no idea of its whereabouts.

Me: am I talking to the Army?!

Soldier: affirmative.. identify yourself.

Me: my name's Joseph, I found the thieves, and apparently they also had huge water deposits. We're at Death  Valley, over.

Soldier: copy that, we're heading there. If you have any flares, light em up.

Everything seemed so right that we felt something bad coming, and we were right, more hostiles appeared in the far East.

Demi: get back to the chopper!

A grenade exploded near me, I fell unconscious

Demi: JOSEPH!

Demi took my arm and dragged me towards the helicopter.. inside.. I told her...

Me: Demi... we need to pop some flares, and signal the Army's choppers, these people stole these helicopters and stuff.

Demi: go.. I'll cover you..

Me: good luck..

Demi: good luck to you too..

I lighted up a white, unusually bright, flare, and ran to where the helicopters were coming from, suddenly I got shot on my legs, a hostile approached me

hostile: the water's ours.. you wasted it .. now we're making good use of it.. not like you

Suddenly, Demi threw a knife to the hostile's arm.. he twitched on the ground in pain.

Demi: RISE THE FLARES! 

I stood up with all my strength .. I rosed up the flares... I fell on my knees... 

Pilot: we saw your signal.. coming in hot..over.

Many more hostiles were coming, but the helicopter cleared the area from them... I was on the ground.. not moving at all .. just lying down.

Demi: come on Joseph!..we're going outta here.

Demi helped me walk to the helicopter... with a smile.

Later... as we were on the chopper.. Demi was recording a message.

Demi: greed, the cause of this drought, but also our lack of awareness, we were all warned before that water was depleting. We simply ignored the warning. If we want to live longer, we have to be together, and probably we will find the solution to this drought. You've been warned, help the world.

Some gunshots were heard outside, then Demi placed the camera away as we ran out of the chopper.
