NIGHT

The light fades into a deep grey as the tide continues to recede, exposing more of the rocky western shore.

The heavy rain from the west lashes against the cottage walls, drumming a frantic rhythm on the roof. Inside, the air is thick with the smell of damp earth and woodsmoke. The tide is low, exposing the slick rocks of the southern flats, while the atmospheric pressure drops steadily, signaling a worsening of the storm.

Jenny — picks up her pencil and makes a quick, jagged sketch of the cloud formations in the margin of her notebook.

💭 peek at the thought

The pressure is dropping again; if this storm hits before the boat arrives, the dock won't hold.

Kevin — walk to the porch rail and scan the western horizon, checking cloud movement against the tide line

💭 peek at the thought

She's tracking the front edge. Smart. The barometer's still dropping and she's reading the sky instead of the gauge.

The wind is shifting to the west.

Shifts her weight to her good ankle, wincing as she adjusts her position against the stone wall.

💭 peek at the thought

He's looking for the boat again, but the only thing coming is the rain.

Generator's tied down. Dinghy's double-lined. What else you want battened?

step off the porch onto the garden path, heading for the shade cloth anchors to check the corner stakes she mentioned last week

💭 peek at the thought

West wind on a falling barometer. Swell's going to build on the north face before the boat window. She's favouring the ankle hard.
