I remember laying awake around midday, trying to reach that point between awake and asleep before the heat would peak and it would be too dangerous to do all that much. Listening to the seagulls above and the water below.
And the hurricanes. The place started leaking more as I got older. I’m lucky it lasted as long as it did as-is. He didn’t think of everything, but god, he tried. I know he did.
