“Uncertain” offers a thoughtful exploration of a sunlit, tranquil swamp, focusing on a mysterious and often ignored town. This town’s lake, its primary economic resource, faces danger from an invasive aquatic plant. The origin of this Texas town’s name is fittingly ambiguous: it might stem from a surveyor’s mistake on an early map or from steamboat captains’ perception that docking there was an unpredictable challenge. This uncertain beginning mirrors the lives of the town’s restless and hopeful residents.
