A Quiet Stretch

Back at the cottage.

The evening air cools as the atmospheric pressure drops, signaling a potential shift in weather. Kevin spends the time checking the heirloom seeds near the stove while Jenny inspects the rat traps in the pantry.

Just one more hour.

Walk to the wood stove and carefully place the heirloom seed packets on the driest part of the surface.

💭 peek at the thought

The seeds are still too damp; if I don't move them closer now, I'll lose Grandmother's whole legacy.

Hm. Don't let them scorch.

walk to the pantry and check the rat trap behind the shelves

💭 peek at the thought

She's pushing the drying. Another hour won't hurt the packets but the stove's cooling. I'll check the rat trap while she finishes.

I'm watching them.

Sit on the kitchen stool, pull out my notebook, and sketch the morphology of the sea beet leaves while they dry.

💭 peek at the thought

He's worried about the heat, but I'm worried about the rot.

Rat took the bait. Didn't trip it.

reset the trap with a smaller dab of corned beef fat worked into the trigger prongs

💭 peek at the thought

Trap's still set, bait gone. Rat took it clean without tripping. Need fresh bait and a tighter set.

They're getting smarter.

Keep the pencil moving, shading the delicate venation of the sea beet leaves in the notebook.

💭 peek at the thought

He's getting better at the mechanics. Maybe the island is.
