Ducks

by Denny E. Marshall




The flying saucer lands in a farm field. Woman and children go outside to stretch. The beings that emerge look a lot like ducks except they’re green.

Mother duck can’t find her duckling. Later, she finds them in a pond playing with earth ducklings.

Fowl play, just as she expected.
