The Approaching Storm

Kevin and Jenny meet inside the kitchen as the first heavy drops of rain hit the roof. The wind picks up through the radio mast.

The evening air is heavy and humid, holding the 29°C heat as the sun dips behind the old shrine. The island is calm, but the supply boat is still nine days away, and the scratching of the rat in the pantry is a constant reminder of the need to secure food.

The storm is coming early. Help me move the trays from the porch.

Snap the notebook shut and run to the porch to grab the seed trays.

💭 peek at the thought

The barometer is dropping faster than I thought; I need to get the seed trays inside before the wind turns.

Right behind you.

follow Jenny to the porch and grab the remaining seed trays, moving them inside the kitchen doorway

💭 peek at the thought

Rain's early. Pressure dropping faster than the barometer showed at noon. Seed trays on the porch will drown or blow off. Move now.

Get them on the table, away from the draft.

Carefully set the seed trays on the kitchen table and check the moisture in the soil.

💭 peek at the thought

If these trays get flooded, the whole season is gone. I can't lose them now.

Done. Going to check the generator and dinghy.

walk out to the porch and check the generator tie-downs and tarp, then head down to the dock to inspect the dinghy stern line and mooring

💭 peek at the thought

Trays safe on the table. Soil's damp — good. Wind's rising through the mast. Need to check the generator tie-downs and the dinghy stern line before the blow hits proper.
