Night at the cottage

Kevin and Jenny are in the kitchen of the keeper's cottage. The generator runs steadily outside. The shortwave radio sits quiet on the table. The oven holds drying seeds. They have eaten limpets and sea beet. The barometer reads 1001 hPa and steady. Night has fallen.

No narrator was available, so nothing about this stretch was recorded.

The air feels heavy. Check the rain tank.

Open the oven door to check the seeds, then sketch the succulent's morphology in the notebook.

💭 peek at the thought

The pressure is dropping again. If the boat doesn't come tomorrow, we're going to be out of salt.

Right.

walk to the back wall and check the rain tank level, then return to the kitchen table

💭 peek at the thought

She's right — heavy air usually means rain coming, and the tank's nearly full anyway. Good habit to check.

We need to open that crate first thing tomorrow before the rain starts.

Flip the seed packets in the oven to ensure they dry evenly.

💭 peek at the thought

way's so quiet. He doesn't see the clouds thickening that fast.

Aye. First light.

sit at the table and log the 2000 radio watch in the notebook — frequency, time, no contact, barometer reading

💭 peek at the thought

Crate's been sitting on the porch since the tide brought it in. Tin labels were salt-blurred but seals intact. Could be anything — food, parts, rope. Worth opening before weather turns.

🌿 Jenny16:04

I'm going to finish these sketches. My eyes are killing me.

Pick up the pencil and draw the fine detail of the succulent's leaves.

💭 peek at the thought

He's so methodical with the log. I hope the boat actually shows up this time.
