The Rising Tide

The water is now swirling around the base of the third stone. The air is still, and the supply boat is still three days away.

The night at the old shrine remains still as the air pressure continues to drop, signaling a shift in weather. Kevin and Jenny rest in the dry season heat, preparing for the supply boat arrival in three days.

Kevin — walk back to the cottage along the ridge path

💭 peek at the thought

The tide's coming in faster than I expected. Should head back before the path along the ridge gets cut off.

The tide is coming in fast on the ridge. We should get the trays inside before the humidity spikes.

Close notebook and follow him back to the cottage.

💭 peek at the thought

He's moving slower today; I can see the hitch in his step every time he shifts his weight.

Seed trays first. Then I'll check the generator oil before dark.

walk toward the cottage with Jenny, pace quickening as the ridge narrows

💭 peek at the thought

She's right. The air's already thickening. Salt damp ruins seedlings faster than wind.

I'll handle the trays. Just make sure you don't drop anything heavy.

Pick up the notebook and pencil and catch up to him.

💭 peek at the thought

If he pushes himself too hard, those ribs are going to give out before the boat even gets here.
