Re: Chapter 2 The Kanhi Jahndi
Kirby knelt over his grandmother and said a silent prayer. There was nothing he could do for her right now, he needed to get back in the fight. “Aybe back grama eh eh, aybe back”. He stood, wiped away some moisture from his eyes, and glided the space where the stairs once stood and ran out the door.
The first thing Kirby noticed upon arriving outside were the flames flicking and flowing from the beasts. A heartbeat later he noticed his friends, clearly in trouble. Is immediate goal was to distract, and hopefully dampen, those flames.
Kirby darted to the right of the stairs coming off of the porch and located the hose he knew would be there.
The rural water system for the main house was quite simple, really. When it rained, and it rained a lot in this part of Guyana, water was collected in a large tank at the top of the hill behind the house. Gravity brought the water to the house from the tank by way of a long underground pipe. The water reached the house right near the front door where it hit a Y tube to either supply water to plumbing system within the house or, as Kirby was doing now, to bring water to the hose at the front of the house. Normally the hose was used for flowers, but today it would serve a different purpose.
Kirby placed his finger over the nozzle so that the stream would be divided when it exited the hose. He then turned on the hose as far as it would open while simultaneously straining to feel the water move through the ground, through the pipe, and toward the house. At the extent of his range Kirby found a seized upon the motion within the water to speed it up. The water doubled its speed as it exited the hose in two distinct streams of water, one each for the engulfed beasts currently harassing the others in his party.
“Drink up fuckers, and stay off my friends!”
