Jamie slammed the front
door. He must feed the Resington giant ducks. It was like jury duty – everyone
had a go. Finally it was his turn. Still nobody said he had to rush to the
lakes. So he wasn’t going to do so.
Jamie
felt the giant ducks on Earth Mark 2 sought revenge for all the duck a la
orange consumed on Earth Mark 1. Last week the news revealed the ducks raided a
now deceased shopper and did terrible things with her Paxo.
At
the oval-shaped lake, Jamie hoped the ducks would look friendlier after eating
their meat.
