The calm before the storm

They stand by the secured crate as the wind begins to pick up, carrying the scent of rain. The barometer continues its slow descent toward 92 hPa.

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

Jenny, wind’s coming hard. Help me drag this crate up to the cottage lee — behind the storm shutter. We’ll open it there, out of the blast.

grab the crate’s end and heave it up the shingle bank toward the cottage, bracing against the rising wind.

💭 peek at the thought
The barometer’s crashing — 92 hPa is off the gauge. This isn’t just a storm; it’s a pressure collapse. The crate’s salted, but if it blows open we lose what’s inside. Jenny’s ankle’s still bad — she shouldn’t be out here. I need to get this crate inland, now, before the wind tears it loose.

Wait a second. Just get it to the wall, I can't run.

Jenny shifts her weight to her good leg, wincing as the ankle pulses, and watches Kevin struggle with the heavy wood.

💭 peek at the thought
The pressure is dropping too fast; this storm is coming before the boat, and my leg feels like it's on fire.

🔧 Kevin23:55

I’ve got it. Just point — where it’ll be safest from the wind and spray.

lift the crate with both hands, straining against the gusts, and shuffle it sideways along the shingle toward the cottage’s leeward wall, keeping low to avoid the wind’s full force.

💭 peek at the thought
She’s in pain but won’t say stop. That crate’s not just wood — it’s line, maybe tools, maybe seed. If it goes, we go hungry. I’ll take the weight. She can guide.

Right there, by the stone foundation. Keep it off the salt spray.

Jenny points to the dry patch of the cottage wall, her hand trembling as she leans heavily against the jetty for support.

💭 peek at the thought
If he gets it behind that wall, the seeds might stay dry, but I need to get inside before the fever takes me.
