storm arrives at the cottage

Rain hammers the roof and shutters as the front hits full force. Kevin and Jenny sit at the kitchen table with mugs of coffee, the barometer at 978 hPa and dropping. The generator thrums steady behind the shed. Wind-driven spray rattles the porch boards. They listen to the shortwave for the supply boat's position, two days out.

The rain lashes against the cottage as the wind picks up from the west, signaling a coming storm. Kevin works inside to prepare the shutter hardware, while Jenny manages the pain in her ankle under the dim light.

Generator sounds clean. You want the radio on 2182 or just scan?

lift mug, blow steam off coffee

💭 peek at the thought
The barometer's still dropping. 978 and the front's only just hit us. Supply boat's two days out in this — they'll be pushing through Force 9 at least. Wonder if the captain'll try the landing or wait it out offshore.

Scan 2182. I want to hear if they're fighting the swell.

Reach for the radio dial on the shelf, avoiding the weight on my ankle.

💭 peek at the thought
If the boat is delayed again, we're going to run out of the antibiotics before this ankle actually clears the infection.

It's on the high shelf. I'll get it.

stand, reach up to the shelf above the stove, bring the shortwave down, set it on the table between us, twist the dial to 2182

💭 peek at the thought
She's favouring the ankle bad. Purple to the knee and she still reaches for the radio first.

🌿 Jenny21:37

Turn the volume up. I can't hear a thing over the rain.

Lean back in the chair, watching the rain blur the window.

💭 peek at the thought
The static is thick today; I hope the storm isn't washing the signal out entirely.
