The part that goes "Quack Quack Quack," felt a little clunky, I think "Quack Quack Quack Quack," would have been a more concise yet equally vivid metaphor. Though I have to say, "Quack Quack Quack Quack Quack" was absolutely superb. My god, such riveting, heartfelt and thought-provoking description. You have no problem conveying the protagonist's struggles. Kudos. 9.6/10 -IGN

Wow. I never read something and felt so inspired. Your ideas we’re conveyed beautifully. I look forward to seeing more of your brilliant work. Again so well written and truly meaning full. I loved seeing the duck such a simple animal go through so many life changing moments. I don’t think I can express enough how incredible this story was. Wow super impressed. Good luck you deserve a win!!❤️❤️

Caught a few punctuation mistakes, can omit the period after “Quack Quack Quack Quack” and the other one after “Quack Quack Quack.” Seriously though, you made my day.

Kaitlyn, this is fantastic! I love how you've dealt with this prompt. The details are magnificent! You've pulled the stream of consciousness model of storytelling off perfectly. This story accurately captures the nostalgia one feels about flying back over old haunts on the way to something new. I especially love the way you had the drake (male duck) remembering details that happened to him in each place he flew over on his trip south. It was a great way to add backstory without getting too caught up in it and letting it take over. The ending...

Thank you for the suggestions and I will definitely remember them for next time I write a story.
