The Miracle of Water and Gasoline

It started as an ordinary Sunday for Father Pario, the priest at St. Reba Church. 

After uttering a benediction over his congregation, he approached the ancient baptismal font adorned with the image of an angel and proceeded to complete baptism rites. After the act was completed, he continued saying mass. It was then that the unexpected happened. The water from the font turned into gasoline.

Gasoline as a Blessing in Disguise

As the strong odor of gasoline permeated the insides of the church, Father Pario’s innate common sense kicked into gear. It was true that he was unable to explain why gasoline instead of water was gushing forth from the baptismal font but he and his parishioners could make certainly use of it. The price of gasoline was at an all-time high. A confluence of geopolitical events around the world was leading to a shortage in the gasoline supply and driving up prices. Consumers, including his parishioners at St. Reba, were feeling the brunt. Gathering his wits about him, he instructed his flock to line up to begin extracting gasoline from the fount.

The FBI and the Mysterious Red

The cavalry, led by the FBI, came in without a preamble. It was a sensational discovery, after all. If it was true that water did indeed turn into gasoline at the baptismal font, finding out why it happened could change the trajectory of the world’s energy industry. Not only the US government will be interested but every energy-producing country in the world, including the Saudi oil cartel. Father Pario did remember something strange. Before the gasoline incident, he had come into contact with a neighborhood drifter named Red. It was Red who gave him some jellybean-like green pellets. Could Red be the missing link to the mystery?

Carl Kegerreis and His Gasoline Pellets

Gasoline pellets that can solve the world’s energy needs serve as a fascinating premise to Carl Kegerreis’ I Wish I Had Those Gasoline Pellets. The book was borne out of a desire to honor the memory of his late wife who passed away due to Alzheimer’s disease. With a mind-bending plot that keeps readers tied to the edge of their seats, Carl Kegerreis has made this book one worth remembering.
