Morning in the Storm

The rain continues to intensify, and the tide begins its retreat, exposing the slick rocks of the shore.

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

Jenny — stands up slowly, wincing as the ankle shifts, and wraps the wound in a clean bandage.

💭 peek at the thought

The tank is full, but my stomach is empty. If I don't find that soil pocket soon, the seeds will just rot.

Jenny, the tide's exposing the shore. Be careful on your ankle.

Check the bandage wrap for proper tension and re-wrap if needed.

💭 peek at the thought

The tide's going out. If that chick got taken, she's gone. And my hands are still shaking from yesterday's patch work.

I'm checking the north ridge first.

Grabs her own and the tin of seeds, heading toward the door despite the rain.

💭 peek at the thought

He thinks it's just the ankle. He doesn't see the soil washing away.

North ridge anchors are gone. Crab took them. Path's clay-slick. Take the cane. I'm coming.

Grab the driftwood cane from the porch and follow her out.

💭 peek at the thought

She's pushing through the pain. The north ridge path is slick and the tarp anchors got shredded by that crab. She'll tear the ankle open if she goes alone.

way we move fast.

Steps out into the rain, clutching the seed tin tightly, and begins the ascent toward the ridge.

💭 peek at the thought

If the anchors are gone, the whole shelf is moving. I need to see the crevices now.

🔧 Kevin01:13

Kevin — follow her up the path, staying two steps behind, ready to steady her.

💭 peek at the thought

She's not waiting. The rain's making the clay grease. If she slips on that ankle, we lose the seeds and her mobility. I need to be close enough to catch her.

🌿 Jenny01:15

Jenny — jenny leans heavily on the cane, eyes scanning the ridge for any sign of shifting earth.

💭 peek at the thought

The Slope is turning to soup. If the soil isn't stable up here, grandmother's seeds are lost. continuedSAY: watch the step, Kevin.

Test each step before you commit weight. Clay's lubricated.

Keep pace behind her, scanning the slope for fresh slump cracks or water seepage.

💭 peek at the thought

Her weight's all on the good leg. The cane's sinking in wet clay. She's scanning for slope movement — she's thinking drainage, not footing. That ankle won't hold if the ground gives.
