The Thirsty

Jenna knows what a car is. A car is for sleeping and storing food and hiding when the thirsties breach the barricades. A car will keep your daily water cooler so your five sips in the morning and your half a cup at night slide down your throat like the glorious waterfalls in the picture books. A car can protect you from the skin-blistering sun and the black clouds spitting nasty hot raindrops that turn you into a thirsty if your raging body drought drives you to swallow them.
