Water Tank

They started their journey in the desert, each carrying his water tank on his back. It was such a long tiring journey. Her fellow travellers had already ran out of water too early, and were depending on her tank that she hardly drank from. She held on to it and didn't want to consume the water. They are all counting on it. Little did she know her tank was leaking. She only get to realize that too late, when there was almost no water left. She's getting more and more tired. She's not used to such a harsh effort. That tank on her back is being of such a load on her. She would willingfully carry it if there was anything left in it, but there isn't. Does she get it off her back? All her fellows are counting on it. Does she tell them there's nothing inside anymore? For them, it represents hope. They might not die of a lack of water, but rather, of a lack of hope. She doesn't want to do that to them. She doesn't want to hurt anyone. What does she do? confront or hide? For how long will she be able to pretent the tank is full? What if they do ask her for water? How will she get away without telling the truth? The water is all gone.
