The Last Drop

By Christopher Creed

A hilarious story of how oil is accidentally discovered on a small and up-to-now, unexplored island in The Persian Gulf by two bumbling brothers.The brothers first inherit a bicycle repair shop from their father who is killed when he falls asleep on a nearby beach - it's a long story...Then they acquire a strip of land from their terminally idle, uncle Hilaal, who is tragically killed whilst trying to cool off during a particularly ferocious heatwave.Rashad has learnt English by watching 1970's police series, "The Sweeney" and sees himself as the incarnation of Inspector Jack Regan, seizing each and every opportunity to exercise his own brand of cockney rhyming slang and dubious English language skills.All is pretty much ordinary in the brothers' lives, until one day, in an uncharacteristic burst of energy, Rashad takes up the work on an abandoned water well, started by uncle years before ...Life changes for the brothers overnight.
