Watered Down

The Pond Of Life was nestled at the base of the mountain, hidden in a valley, behind deadly plants and dangerous quicksand.


Once we found it, I counted to five in my head.


On four, my partner pulled his weapon. I had already stepped away from him so I had time to speak.


"Ok, let me guess, only you can have ghis, right? Tell you what, release me, and I'll never tell anyone of this pond. You know, unlike you, I'm trustworthy."


He stared, then let me go.


I quickly climbed the mountain, found the water source, and dammed it.
