“You’re hidden in the brush and overgrowth on the top of a bank overlooking the river. It’s not much of a river, to be honest. It’s probably only two feet deep and maybe twenty yards across. But you’re aiming the rifle at the center of the river, where you can see the same creature you’ve been watching all afternoon. A gold duck. You look into the Stettinga hunting rifle with its massive scope. You can see the duck perfectly. And even as you examine it, you realize you’ve never seen anything lik...e it before. It resembles a mallard or a wild duck, but you observe some unique features in addition to its surprising color. First off, the beak looks longer. A lot longer than a typical duck beak. And there’s something shiny, almost prickly, on its bright feathers. Like it’s got scales on its wings. Then there are the eyes. This duck’s got Mona Lisa eyes. The kind that seem to be looking at you regardless of where you’re standing. I gotta sound crazy. But that’s okay. You’re not crazy.MoreLessRead More Read Less
