Winter on Cooke's Rock

For the Seasonal Bliss category of the Wandering Skies contest 2024.

 

------------------------------------------------------

Winter is a quiet time of year on the tiny rock of Bartholomew Cooke. Storms and frost slow shipping, giving him weeks on end of complete solitude. There's certainly a measure of danger in it, and he must plan out his supplies carefully, but Bartholomew wouldn't have it any other way.

 

After a 27-day stretch, another ship is due this very afternoon. Having exhausted his supply of tea two nights prior, Bartholomew waits eagerly by his freshly-shoveled pier.
