Quroak!

I was driving home. I turned left onto a road with a 45 speed limit. But I saw the car ahead of me slowing down. I didn't want to hit him, so I slowed down too. Then he comes to a dead stop. Now, I've noticed that people generally drive really slow on 45s for some reason. But a dead stop? Turns out there were ducks. Three ducks. They looked like they had started to cross the road (why?) and noticed all the cars coming, so they froze in line. "No sudden movements guys, maybe they won't see us if we stand still!" Good intentions, but really not a well-educated plan. But they stayed stiff, so the car in front of me cranked the wheel around and made his way past. I made my way past too, revving my engine a bit in a "Hey dummies, yer gonna die, move!!!" sort of way. But they didn't. So I finished the drive home and supposed I'd never see the end of the episode.

But I did.

I had a movie to return. So I went and returned the movie. On the way back from the rental joint I found myself on that same road. The 45 speed had resumed nicely, cause I was the only car on the road. I remembered the ducks and wondered how they'd fared. I didn't see them from a distance and figured they'd left. Then I got closer, and noticed the duck-sized lump on the road, right where the leader had been standing before. I think we can all imagine how the episode ended. There's no 'to be continued' on that episode! Though... there might be sequel, a follow-up series about the other two ducks, and the things they learned from that experience. Maybe even a shocker season finale where the first duck returns, not dead!

I don't reckon this drama series will ever come to fruition. At least a few of us are aware of the pilot episode. Aren't you glad you read this?
