The Distributor

by Jeff Doka

Overview

In a world without rain, the desert sands are controlled by the only group with the technology and infrastructure to give water to the thirsty: The Distributor.

When Friedrich, a nerdy engineer, discovers a bug in the Distributor's systems, he realizes this is a chance to overthrow their oppressive regime. With his technology, Friedrich can offer a better life to thousands in the Barrens, but he'll need to reach the Distributor across hundreds of miles of empty desert.

Friedrich hijacks one of the regime's water caravans with his technology to reach the Distributor's core computers. It's only when he arrives that he discovers what the Distributor is hiding from the rest of the world – and what this secret foretells for the future.
