This piece was for the Carrot Ranch 99-word weekly challenge, with the prompt of ‘baby ducks ate my lunch’.
That skinny German tourist’s leg didn’t really agree with me yesterday. Mostly gristle and I’ve still got lederhosen stuck in my teeth. Parked the rest of him under a log for a few days to mature.
Still feeling a pit peckish. Saw a mother duck and brood floating past. I thought ‘Yum, baby ducks’. Ate my lunch and had a nap in the sun on the river bank. Later, mother duck came back searching for her ducklings. She looked so distressed I put her out of her misery.
Sentimental I know but that’s just the sweet guy I am.

Punctuation is everything in text comprehension. Bon voyage to the familie duck, bon appetit to the croc!

🙂 Just like ‘We’re hungry. Let’s eat, Grandma.’ vs ‘We’re hungry. Let’s eat Grandma.’
