 		[SPEC] A Monkey told me a Story about a Duck
Fowl Play?!
I was having a conversation with someone who may or may not have been a naughty monkey, and he mentioned almost being bitten by a duck. I asked him to share the story, and he suggested sharing it myself, from first person, making the story my own. I decided to do so, and shared a story in IRC. (The story has been edited slightly for clarity and grammar, as typing out a story one sentence at a time in IRC is not conducive to such things.)

Wanna Buy a Duck? by analogwatch (title by Lisa) wrote:
So one night, I was walking home from work at Subway. There was quite a bit of bread left over from my shift, and I didn't want to waste it, so I'd brought it home with me. There was a duck pond across the street from my house, and there were ducks there all the time, so I had this genius idea that I was going to feed the ducks. I saw my target: A nice, large mallard, looking quite hungry. I silently broke off a piece of bread, holding it out in front of him.

"Here, ducky ducky," I called softly. The duck approached, his head cocked to the side slightly.

"Here, ducky ducky," I called again. He took a few more steps, then his head snapped out quickly, nearly tearing my finger off! I screamed, falling backwards, scurrying as fast as I could away. The duck had tasted blood(...y bread), however, and he was NOT finished.

I stood and started to run, but the ducks! Oh, the ducks! They'd locked onto their target, and they would not turn away! I ran screaming across Seventh Street, dodging traffic... but the ducks! Oh, the ducks! I ran all the way to my house, locking the door behind me. The ducks! Oh, the ducks! They'd followed me!

I heard their tiny feathered bodies crashing against my front door, rattling my window. I cracked the door just wide enough to throw the bread out, then slammed it again. I heard feathers rustling, then silence. Glorious, wondrous silence. I peeked out from my curtains to find a small note:

"Thanks for the bread. Sorry I bit you.
With love,
The Ducks."

 		xD Loved it. Ducks slamming against the door? Perhaps our little monkey watches too often a certain Hitchcock movie... Anyways, hilarious.

And then again not so hilarious, 'cause one time somebody fed a group of ducks with meat...from cows with the mad cow disease. Uncool.

The ducks slamming against the door were entirely my creation. My only nudging and inspiration was being told something along the lines of "I once was almost bit by a duck because I was trying to catch it in a burlap sack." I asked for the story to be shared, and I was told to tell it from first-person and make it my own. So, I did. Smile
