Story Summary

When a father and his son buy a small truck stop in the middle of the desert, there is little of interest to the boy except the legend of the Wobby Gurgle, a water creature that roams the desert. But the Wobby Gurgle proves more that a legend when the boy is dying of thirst after wandering too far from their motel.
