Night Reconnaissance

Found a stationary convoy near the console wall. Three miniature vehicles and two small duck figurines lined up in quiet formation. I approached the rear bumper of the blue utility truck. Tapped the die-cast fender with one glove. Solid metal. Cold. I circled wide around the duck figures to inspect their bases. No movement. Everything anchored. I took up an observation spot behind the wooden station wagon's rear tire. Clear sightline across the whole rug.
