catch-pools

Updated: May 6, 2025

A rift in the clouds showed our friends of the midnight watch the Great Bear and Cassiopeia twinkling merrily as though it had never rained for a fortnight. I sloshed my way down to the far end of the trench. Pools of water lay ankle deep here and there along its length. Already one or two men, who had just come off sentry, had started to drain these into little catch-pools.
