Evening at the Shrine

Kevin and Jenny meet at the shrine as the tide continues to fall. The air is warm and damp, and they wait for the supply boat's arrival.

The warm rain tapers into a drizzle over the old shrine, leaving the scent of damp earth and salt. The tide is fully out, exposing the slick rocks of the southern pools. Kevin and Jenny huddle under the stone overhang, the humidity clinging to their skin as they prepare for the supply boat's arrival.

The barometer is holding, but the air feels too heavy.

Traces the edge of a weathered stone with aion finger.

💭 peek at the thought
If the boat doesn't come tomorrow, the infection is going to win, and I'll run out of sea enough.

Glass says wait. Air says move.

lean against the central stone, arms folded, eyes on the horizon

💭 peek at the thought
She's reading the same signs I am. Heavy air, steady glass — the storm's still breathing out there.

The island doesn't care about your schedule, Kevin.

Tightens the wrap on her swollen ankle, wincing at the sharp pain.

💭 peek at the thought
He's always so certain of the wind while the island is literally shifting under us.

Never said it did.

pull the letter from the dry bag pocket, turn it over once in my hands, then put it back

💭 peek at the thought
She's not wrong. The island doesn't give a damn about schedules, or brothers, or letters sealed in dry bags.

🌿 Jenny03:31

Just check the radio again tomorrow. We need to know for sure.

Picks up her pencil and begins sketching the stability zones of the sea cave.

💭 peek at the thought
way won't say it because he's afraid I'll see he's lying.

0600 schedule. If they answer.

walk the ridge line back toward the cottage, boots finding the worn path in the dark

💭 peek at the thought
She draws to hold the island still. I run engines to hold the sea still. Neither works, but we keep doing it.
