Duck Blind Bluff

A low, wind-edged bluff that crowns the marshes above the duck blind, offering a hard, exposed vantage where sky and reeds meet. Sun slants across squat shrubs and salt-stiff grass; the drop to the wetlands smells of damp peat and bird oil. Paths worn by furtive footsteps lead down toward the hidden blind; the place functions as a lookout and the threshold between surveillance and action. Solitude tightens here—thoughts sharpen, doubts gather, and small discoveries carry outsize weight. The bluff channels observation into decision, making it the quiet crucible for reconnaissance and the narrative pivot that sets communal upheaval in motion.
