The First-Day Flood

This is my submission. The first-day defect that defines this whole channel.

Brand new Alliance Paradigm. Picked it up from the dealer. Drove it home. It rained that night.

Woke up to water. Not condensation. Standing water. Right here. The seal where the wall meets the floor of this compartment — gapped from the factory. Never inspected. Never caught.

I traded in my last Alliance because the owner of the company called and convinced me the next one would be different. It rained the first night I owned it. The very first night.

Every Wednesday I'll feature a submission like this. But this one's mine. This one's why we exist. Submit yours so I can tell the story for the next person.
