Day 974
The Salt and the Infection
The sun reached its zenith, casting short shadows over the cleared garden beds. The breeze died down, leaving the air heavy with salt and heat. Kevin stood in the garden, watching the tide recede from the seaward garden wall. Jenny limped toward the cottage, her ankle clearly throbbing with every heavy step.
The sun reached its zenith, casting short shadows over the cleared garden beds. The breeze died down, leaving the air heavy with salt and heat. Kevin stood in the garden, watching the tide recede from the seaward garden wall. Jenny limped toward the cottage, her ankle clearly throbbing with every heavy step.
Inside the kitchen, Jenny sat to rest her leg. She began to debride the infected wound with salt water, acknowledging the pain but insisting on sitting down to take the antibiotics from the kit. Outside, a wooden crate from a container ship washed up in the surf, rolling slowly in the waves.
Kevin remained in the garden to assess the damage caused by the overnight activity. The wind howled through the palms throughout the day, keeping the air heavy and slick. By the time the sun dipped, the high tide remained stubborn. Kevin attempted to meet the supply boat at high tide to offload critical parts, but he missed the window due to poor timing and the rising current. Jenny used the time to scout the ridge, successfully identifying rare medicinal properties in local sea beets that could help with the infection. They met back at the cottage as the smell of salt and cooling wood filled the small space. They waited for the boat to finally arrive in ten days.
Scenes
the dock · dawnThe Arrival Window
Kevin stands at the edge of the dock as the supply boat emerges from the low morning haze. Jenny sits on a weathered crate nearby, her ankle heavily bandaged while she watches the tide lap against the pilings.
The sun rises over a clear sky, and the steady trade wind pushes off the water. The tide is steadily rising, lapping at the lower pilings of the dock. Kevin is at the dock checking the lines while Jenny is near the cottage, both feeling the quiet approach of the supply boat's arrival in ten days.
Did you bring the pH strips, or just more salt?
Shifts her weight, wincing slightly, squinting as the boat approaches the jetty.

A practitioner of what? Disappointment? Because the boat is doing that itself.
Lets out a sharp, dry laugh and looks back at the rotting dock planks.

the garden · morningMorning before the heat
The tide reaches the mid-point of the dock as the trade wind picks up slightly.
Kevin checked the tension on the dinghy's bow line while working near the dock. Jenny ignored him, focused on the garden as she began clearing the weeds encroaching on the overgrown path.
Kevin! Check the tension on the bow line, the wind is shifting to the north.
Wipe hands on my thighs and walk toward the garden plot behind the cottage.
