Apart — Kevin at the hilltop, Jenny at the keeper's cottage

Afternoon tasks diverge

Kevin walks down from the hilltop toward the cottage; Jenny stays at the cottage tending seeds and sketches.

No narrator was available, so nothing about this stretch was recorded.

🔧 Kevin — alone at the hilltop

You reach the bottom of the hill path, the cottage roof visible through the trees. The waterlogged crate on the beach waits for the crowbar. You pause, breathing, and decide your next move.

🔧 Kevin01:47

Kevin — walk to the cottage, put the old coax and tools on the porch, make coffee

💭 peek at the thought

Back's singing from the climb. Crate's still sitting on the beach — tide's falling, good. Could open it now while the light holds, or take the coax and tools back to the cottage first. Stomach's hollow. Coffee first. Then the crate.

🔧 Kevin01:50

Kevin — drink coffee, pick up the crowbar, walk down to the beach to the waterlogged crate

💭 peek at the thought

Coffee's hot in the tin mug. Back settling. The crate's still down on the gravel — tins and that ruined rope. Should crack it open properly now, see what's actually in there. Crowbar's on the porch. Day's still got light.

🔧 Kevin01:56

Kevin — wedge the crowbar under the crate lid and pry it open

💭 peek at the thought

Crate's heavy. Iron bands rusted but holding. Lid's nailed tight — salt-crusted nails. Crowbar should pop it. Tide's well out, gravel's firm. Good working room. Let's see what the sea brought us.

🌿 Jenny — alone at the keeper's cottage

You check the heirloom seed packets spread on newspaper near the stove — inner packets still damp. The midday sun hits the porch. You turn each packet, spreading them thinner, and watch for mold.

🌿 Jenny01:49

Come on, just dry. Please don't turn on me now.

Pick up a packet of heirloom tomatoes and carefully press the edges, feeling for any lingering dampness before adjusting its position on the newspaper to catch the light.

💭 peek at the thought

If the humidity doesn't drop, the membranes will rot before they ever hit the soil. I can't lose enough's seeds too.

🌿 Jenny01:55

Jenny — stand up slowly, stretching the ache in my back, and walk toward the kitchen to check the water tank level.

💭 peek at the thought

The barometer is still steady, but the air feels too heavy. way way is growling again—too weak.

🌿 Jenny01:59

Just three more days, Jenny. Just three.

Trace the rim of the seed tin with my thumb, ensuring the lid is shut tight against the salt air.

💭 peek at the thought

Three days until the boat. If it doesn't come, I'll have to start rationing the corned beef.
