Apart — Kevin at the dock, Jenny at the woods

Midday Day 364

Kevin is at the dock and Jenny is in the woods.

The air is heavy and still under the overcast sky, though the barometer continues to drop to 979 hPa, signaling a coming change in weather. The tide is out low, exposing the slick rocks of the tide pools and the pilings of the dock.

🔧 Kevin — alone at the dock

You inspect the salt-crusted reinforcements as the tide continues to recede.

🔧 Kevin23:16

Kevin — inspect the scour void under the starboard piling, probing depth with a length of rebar

💭 peek at the thought

The scour void's eaten deeper since yesterday. Greenheart sister plank's floating on nothing — the oak wedges are the only thing keeping the ring from walking out of its mortise. Need epoxy in that void before the tide turns, but the tub's near empty. Might have to mix what's left with cement dust from the shed floor.

🔧 Kevin23:21

Kevin — fetch the greenheart offcuts from the stack on the dock and the sledgehammer from the workshop

💭 peek at the thought

Void goes down another foot. Scour's undermined the piling toe — the whole dock's canting seaward, slow as a dying breath. Epoxy won't bridge this. Need greenheart offcuts driven vertical as micropiles, then grout the lot. Tide's still dropping. Got maybe ninety minutes before water covers the work face.

🌿 Jenny — alone at the woods

You move slowly, favoring your ankle and avoiding the uneven roots underfoot.

🌿 Jenny23:19

Jenny — reach into my pocket and pull out the tin of seeds, tracing the cold metal edge.

💭 peek at the thought

If those streaks keep moving up, I won't make it to the boat. I can't let the seeds rot here just because I couldn't heal.

🌿 Jenny23:22

Jenny — turn back toward the cottage, stepping carefully around a cluster of screw pines.

💭 peek at the thought

I need to get back to the cottage and check that ankle properly. The hunger is starting to make me lightheaded.
