My category ‘Pictures & Stories’ are posts with me writing a fictional, creative short story about a picture.
Dank –
Once again alone, Dank the duck sat quietly waiting for their approach. Would they come this time? He had forgotten when the last he saw them. And how did he get left behind?
It seems like yesterday, but no it was already a couple of seasons ago, they were all here on their trek to the south, to the warmer climate. Dank as usual would not stay with the group, but instead go exploring the surroundings. He had been there before, but still the exploring brought new exciting adventures. It only took 1 exciting adventure and they left and he was left behind alone.
Now it was time. Would they come back this way? Dank the duck sat quietly waiting for their approach. Would they come this time?

Hehe – I was at first irritated and thought you can speak German as the word “Dank” does exists and means thanks ! 😀 Lovely little story you´ve created from this picture, Terry! Look forward to your next creative writing piece! 🙂

Little Dank …. I was like him as a child – always off on my own path and then panicking because everyone had disappeared. Quite rude of them not to just wait it out whilst I explored, I rather feel!

Thank you, my dear friend. Kindness is the single thing I strive not to lose in myself (I am flawed, my halo slips far too frequently but I still strive) …. I’m thinking of you today. Very loudly so I hope you can here me. Bon courage, mon beau amie, bon courage 🙂
