Evening in the Heat

Inside the cottage, the smell of warming limpet broth fills the small space. Jenny sits on the edge of a chair, her ankle elevated, while Kevin watches the steam rise from the pot.

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

It's too hot in here.

Lean back in the chair and close my eyes, shifting my ankle slightly to find a position that doesn't throb.

💭 peek at the thought

I can't even look at him right now. The smell of the broth is making me nauseous, or maybe it's just the fever.

Opening the porch door. Might pull the storm lantern out so the moths don't eat us alive.

walk to the porch door and unlatch it, letting the humid night air push inside; hook the storm lantern off its nail and set it on the porch railing, flame low

💭 peek at the thought

The heat's making her worse. Need air moving through here before the fever climbs.

way make sure the door stays latched.

Reach for the glass of water on the kitchen table, fingers trembling slightly as I Take the antibiotic.

💭 peek at the thought

The air is getting heavier, but at least the salt smell is masking the rot in the kitchen.

Cedar shim's gone. Gonna use this piece of driftwood instead.

grab the split driftwood scrap from near the stove, wedge it between door frame and sill to keep it closed; place the glass of water back on the table within reach

💭 peek at the thought

Door won't stay shut with this swollen hinge. Need to wedge it properly.
