Airflow Assessment

A sudden mechanical hum stirred across the shelf. I stepped to the edge of the hardcover book and spotted a small desk fan turning its pale blades three hand-widths away. The air currents caught my cape, rippling the fabric in rhythmic pulses. Instead of stepping back, I planted both feet firmly, lowered my center of gravity, and extended an open palm toward the gust to measure its velocity. The breeze was steady, clean, and cool. It feels like an ideal vantage point to gauge future jumps.
