Apart — Kevin at the keeper's cottage, Jenny at the north cliffs

Rising Afternoon Heat

The humidity thickens as the midday tide pushes further up the island shore.

Kevin crawled under the cottage floorboards to inspect the source of the persistent water tank leak while the humidity rises. Jenny attempted to scout the north cliffs but was hampered by the pain in her swelling ankle. The sky thickens as the wet season heat builds.

🔧 Kevin — alone at the keeper's cottage

You slide the heavy boards back into place, noting the moisture spreading across the wood.

Kevin — wipe flashlight lens on shirt, climb out of crawlspace, secure floorboards, walk to porch, check barometer again

💭 peek at the thought

The joists are drinking it up. Another week and the rot reaches the bearing wall. Need to decide: patch the tank again or run a bypass line from the spring before the floor gives.

🔧 Kevin05:08

Kevin — walk to back wall, examine tank overflow pipe where it exits cottage, trace copper spillway hose to grass slope, check for blockage

💭 peek at the thought

Barometer's still holding at 1001. Wind's backing west — means the front's stalling. Rain'll sit on us for days. Tank leak won't wait.

🌿 Jenny — alone at the north cliffs

You begin the slow walk back to the cottage, testing your weight on every step.

🌿 Jenny05:07

Jenny — limp back toward the cottage, clutching the way cane until my knuckles are white.

💭 peek at the thought

Every step is a hammer in that joint. If I don't get the saline on, I'm going to lose the leg.

🌿 Jenny05:11

Jenny — reach the cottage door and lean heavily against the doorframe, catching my breath.

💭 peek at the thought

The sky is getting heavier. I can smell the rain before it hits. I need to get inside.
