Ooooo! I visited the Okefenokee swamp about five years ago and it was like being transported back to read your story! The water, the vegetation, the buildings and, most especially, the 'gators. I was paranoid and freaked out by them - just LAYING around by the parking lot - when we first got there. By the end of the day, they were old hat.
I also enjoyed having a revelation for another character. Nicely done!
Now you should do one where Henderson finds out. Or maybe he already knows? He seemed to let what might have shredded Clark's sleeve drop fairly easily.
