the old shrine · day 850 · night

The first rain

The sky finally breaks, and the first heavy drops hit the dust of the garden. The north ridge groans under the weight of the saturated soil.

Kevin and Jenny rest at the old shrine under an overcast sky. The humidity remains high, preventing any progress on the brush removal or ankle treatment while they wait for the supply boat to arrive in four days.

Kevin, we have to move. Now!

Grab the seed tin and start heading back toward the cottage.

💭 peek at the thought

It's starting. The saturation point is here and the ridge is giving up.

Jenny, wait — the tin, grab the dry bag —

run toward the ridge, then pivot to grab the dry bag with seed tins, then sprint back toward cottage while yelling "Cover the west slope!"

💭 peek at the thought

The ridge's giving way faster than I figured. Should've doubled the shoring back at the first slump.

The slope is already gone! Just run!

Sprint toward the cottage, keeping a wide berth from the ridge edge.

💭 peek at the thought

He's panicking. He's worrying about the bags while the ground is literally shifting under our feet.

Move!

sprint after Jenny toward cottage, scanning ridge line for secondary slip, grabbing her arm at the garden gate to pull her inside

💭 peek at the thought

She's right. The whole face is moving. No time for gear.

(breathless) The west slope... did you see the tilt?

Lean against the doorframe, clutching the seed tin to my chest and shivering.

💭 peek at the thought

He's shaking. He thinks he's saving me, but he doesn't see the way the garden wall is leaning.

Trench held. Saw the water running clear through the pipe.

slam cottage door shut against wind, bolt it, move to window watching ridge line, hand on radio mic

💭 peek at the thought

Saw it. The whole bench dropped six inches. If the intercept trench didn't hold, the cottage foundation's next.
