The Rain Breaks

The first heavy drops hit the corrugated roof, followed immediately by a sudden downpour that turns the garden path into a muddy run.

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

Dammit it.

Grab the notebook and the seed tin from the table, then bolt toward the cottage door.

💭 peek at the thought

The rain is going to ruin the sketches if I don't get them inside now.

I’ve got the generator tarp and the radio gear. Shout if you need a hand.

sprint to the porch, grab the heavy-duty tarp and the dry bag with the radio and seed tin inside, then sprint back toward the cottage door to help Jenny get everything inside before the downpour soaks it.

💭 peek at the thought

Rain’s coming hard and fast. Need to secure the loose things before they wash or blow off—seed tin first, then the notebook. She’s already moving; I’ll back her up.

The seeds are getting damp!

way the notebook under my shirt to shield it and duck inside the way.

He's actually moving for once, but the wind is picking up.

🔧 Kevin16:50

Tin’s still out—I’ll get it. Shut the door behind you, I’ll be right in.

lunge back to the kitchen table, snatch the damp seed tin, pop it open just enough to check the inner packets, then shove it into the dry bag with the radio, seal the bag tight, and follow Jenny inside, kicking the door shut with my heel.

💭 peek at the thought

She’s got the notebook safe under her shirt—good. The seed tin’s still out there on the table, getting hit by rain. Need to grab it and get it sealed before the damp ruins the heirloom packets.

🌿 Jenny16:51

Hurry up, the roof is already leaking.

drop the notebook on the table and collapse into the chair, wincing as my ankle throbs.

💭 peek at the thought

If that tin gets truly wet, the whole harvest is gone.

🔧 Kevin16:52

On it. I’ll catch the drips and get you elevated. Hold tight.

grab the galvanized bucket from the corner, place it under the worst leak in the roof, then fetch the clean cloth and the mint poultice from the first aid kit, kneel beside Jenny’s chair, and gently re-wrap her ankle with the poultice under

💭 peek at the thought

Rain’s hammering the roof, leaks starting. Jenny’s in pain, ankle flaring again. I need to get us dry, warm, and the leaks contained before things get worse—seed tin’s safe, notebook’s dry, now focus on shelter and her.

🌿 Jenny16:53

Watch the bucket. It's already filling fast.

lean back and close my eyes, watching the rain blur the window.

💭 peek at the thought

He's actually helping, but the wind is starting to rattle the shutters.

🔧 Kevin16:54

I’ll dump it outside and keep an eye on it. You rest—I’ve got this.

carefully lift the full bucket, step outside the back door, pour the water onto the gravel path away from the cottage foundation, then return, reset the bucket under the leak, and watch the drip rate while standing ready to swap it again if

💭 peek at the thought

Bucket’s filling fast—need to empty it before it overflows and ruins the floor. Jenny’s resting, eyes closed, ankle wrapped. I’ll handle the water, keep the interior dry, and check if the leak’s worsening.
