Phinneus was gone, but life went on in the settlement.

It was shocking how the loss of a single person had affected our little world. Even though Phinneus had been meticulous about making notes in the Record, there were many things that only he knew. When Phinneus had died, he had taken all his experience with him.

Albie, who had picked up the algae farm in addition to his other responsibilities, was frustrated. One day, he told me a batch of algae had turned out bad.

“I don’t know where anything is,” he confessed. “I can’t find the fertilizer for the beets.”

“It’s probably in the cabinet over the sink,” I said.

“And there’s a leak in the container growing the spinach. I can’t figure out what’s causing it.”

“It’s probably the roots,” I told him. “They can clog things and cause a backup.”

Albie looked surprised. “How do you know all this?”

“I just remember Phinneus telling me.”

“Can you help me figure things out?” he asked.

I hadn’t been in the algae farm since Phinneus died.

Albie must have seen something on my face, because he said, “That was dumb of me. Forget I even asked.”

“No, it’s okay,” I told him. “I’ll come help.”
