Apart — Kevin at the tide pools, Jenny at the north cliffs

The High Tide Retreat

Kevin is at the tide pools and Jenny is on the north cliffs.

Kevin headed to the tide pools during the ebb tide to gather limpets for the evening meal. Jenny ascended the northern cliffs to monitor the horizon and document local flora, despite the aching ankle on the steep terrain.

🔧 Kevin — alone at the tide pools

You stand on the edge of the channel, watching the tide reclaim the rocks. You hoist the heavy bucket of limpets and prepare to climb back up.

Kevin — carry bucket of limpets up from the tide pools toward the cottage

💭 peek at the thought

Good haul. Back up before the channel fills — the water's moving faster than it looks.

🔧 Kevin11:42

Kevin — walk up the path from the tide pools to the cottage garden, bucket in hand

💭 peek at the thought

Bucket's heavy. Ankle's holding. Need to get these in the pot before the tide turns proper.

🔧 Kevin11:46

Kevin — set the bucket of limpets down on the kitchen table, fill the cast iron pot with water, and set it on the stove to boil

💭 peek at the thought

Kitchen's cool. Jenny's still at the cliffs. Time to get these cooking and the engine tested before the boat shows.

🌿 Jenny — alone at the north cliffs

You sit on a dry patch of grass overlooking the coast. You lean your back against a rock, staring at the ruined page of your notebook.

🌿 Jenny11:41

Dammit.

Close the notebook sharply and lean head back against the rock, closing eyes.

💭 peek at the thought

That streak is a disaster. Six hours of observation, ruined by a clumsy slip and a lack of balance.

🌿 Jenny11:45

Jenny — slowly shift position to inspect the ankle, checking the color and heat of the skin.

💭 peek at the thought

I can't just sit here and let the infection win. If the swelling reaches my knee, I'm useless.

🌿 Jenny11:49

Jenny — grip the rock to haul myself up, testing the ankle's weight-bearing capacity.

💭 peek at the thought

I'm shaking. Probably the hunger, or the fever starting to creep in. I need to get back before the terrain gets too tricky.
