The rainforest is dying.
A scent not born from fire—instead, it’s a distinct stench of death like
decaying meat.
Wet and musty.
Rotten wood.
Mold.
A smell I can’t escape since it’s rained nonstop every day for the past two
weeks.
When I arrived in mid-September, we had sunshine and occasional
drizzly rain.
“You brought the sunshine with you,” Samuel had told me. “At least you
missed the worst of the rainy season.”
What the hell is this?
Never have I seen so much rain.
A blanket of water falls from the sky every minute, and I can barely see
ten feet in front of me. I’m a prisoner in the hut, only venturing out to visit
the jungle toilet, and I hold off as long as possible. My soaked, muddy shoes
remain near the hut entrance.
I shifted my belongings away from the open
windows, even though there’s barely a puff of wind to blow the rain
anywhere except directly downward. The grass-thatched roof overhangs the
structure, directing rain runoff to form a waterfall imprisoning us in a fluid
fence. The overspill creates small rivers throughout the village. A moat-like
trench surrounds Samuel’s hut, and the past few days has seen the water lap
at the entrance, concealing the two wooden steps below the doorway.
Everything smells damp. There’s no escaping the mildewy aroma. Only
the raucous insects distract your thoughts, and I wish they would shut up.
During the day, I’m left to go stir-crazy while Samuel attempts to save
some of the precious herbs. He pots the plants and lugs the clay pots into the
long house. Many of the plants thrive, being acclimatized to this weather.
Only the shaman is afraid of losing the rare ones, and considering we’ve had
around twenty inches of rain in a short period, the water isn’t draining away
fast enough, and the plants sink in a deluge of muddy water.
