100 Word Story – Police Blotter – Ducks

Ducks
By Grant Baciocco

Officer Roberts was about to get back into his patrol car when he felt a tug at his pants leg.  Looking down he saw a brown duck looking up at him.

Officer Roberts looked at the duck, wondering if it had, in fact just tugged on his pants.  The duck looked up and, gesturing with her wing, pointed to the far side of the busy street.  Officer Roberts was then startled to see six ducklings appear and join their mother in pointing across the street.  Smiling, he nodded and stepped out into the street and stopped traffic for the ducks.
