The storm breaks

The wind begins to howl against the cottage walls as the first heavy drops of rain hit the dust.

Kevin saved the seed packets from the porch just as the breeze shifted. Inside the cottage, they spread the damp packets out on paper to stop the mold spread while a rat gnawed the flour sack in the pantry.

Kevin, get the seeds inside! way!

Scramble to grab the seed tin from the porch and run back into the kitchen.

💭 peek at the thought
The rain is coming too fast; if the tin gets wet again, grandmother's legacy is gone.

On it. Radio next — batten the antenna.

sprint to the porch, grab the remaining seed packets off the screens, shove them into the tin, and carry it inside to the kitchen table

💭 peek at the thought
Storm's here. Barometer was right. Seeds first, then the dinghy.

Don't just throw them in! They need air, or the mold will bloom.

Open the tin and spread the damp packets across the dry paper on the table.

💭 peek at the thought
way's going to bruise the seeds if he just shoves them in there like that.

🔧 Kevin05:53

Paper's dry?

pull out the kitchen chairs, lay the moldy packets flat on the table with space between each, weight the corners with the spare spark plug and the water test kit so the wind doesn't take them

💭 peek at the thought
She's right. Wet paper on wet seeds makes soup. Dry them proper.

🌿 Jenny05:55

Be careful. We need to see how far the mold has traveled.

Reach out and touch the edge of the tomato packet, checking if the seeds are still viable inside.

💭 peek at the thought
At least he's using the weights, but that spark plug is too heavy for the bean seeds.

Tomato and basil are surface. The Cyrillic one — that's the deep one.

take the tweezers from the tool roll, peel back the packet flaps gently, tip seeds onto the paper one packet at a time, sort the fuzzy from the clean with the tip of a knife blade

💭 peek at the thought
Mold's got the edges. Center might hold. Need to separate the dead from the living.
