The Dam — D.K. Holmberg

Del can't believe his assignment. He deserved punishment, but to have to work out in the sweltering heat, cleaning up the sewage mess the fat idiot Trean made? Trean keeps rambling about something in the water -- water that the town needs to survive.

As Del tries to figure out why the water keeps spilling out of the channel Trean dug to the water supply, he starts to wonder if maybe Trean isn't as stupid as he looks and that maybe there is something more to the mess, especially when he sees the strange green tint to the water. But could Trean actually be right -- could the entire town be at risk if they don't work together?
