Another Short Story
Lu Quack and Whack-Whack
At the south of the globe, there is a huge ice-covered cliff peppered with glaciers. It is called the Edge of the Earth. It is not the actual Edge of the Earth. For that you have to travel to Finland, take a left at Lapland and keep walking for 15000 miles until you fall off.
On one of the many icy islands surrounding the cliffs, there lived two ducks named Lu Quack and Whack-Whack.
Whack-Whack was an ididot. All he ever said was "Quack." Lu Quack constantly plotted against him. How to cut off his tongue?
"Quack-quack-quack."
How?
"Quack-Quack ..."
"SHUT UP!"
"Quack?"
One day, Lu Quack found a huge rock. He quickly made a plan. He painted it gold, then hid an axe behind it. Later he dragged Whack-Whack to the rock.
"Quack-Quack-QUACK!"
"Look at this rock, Whack-Whack. It's solid gold. My back is aching. Please carry it home." said the cunning Lu Quack.
"QUAcK!" Whack-Whack protested.
"If it's too heavy, I can help you. Put your tongue on the rock and close your eyes while I say a magic spell." said Lu Quack.
As soon as Whack-Whack put his tongue on it, Lu Quack took the axe and slammed it with all his might onto Whack-Whack's tongue. It fell off. Whack-Whack started crying. But he could not speak. All the sounds he could make were pitiful gagging sounds. Whack-Whack ran to their house and kept crying.
Lu Quack stood there, suddenly shocked. His knees, or rather, his webbed feet felt weak. What had he done?
A few days, he mustered enough courage to see what had happened to Whack-Whack. Horrified to see that Whack-Whack had commited suicide, he started his motor-boat (!) and fled. He went to Paris, where he prospered as a quack-doctor. Some decades later, he came to the island with his wife and children. In a flash all those memories came back to him. He peeked into Whack-WHack's house and saw a decayed skeleton. But the skeleton was still making those pitiful gagging sounds he made when Lu Quack had cut off his tongue.
Lu Quack went crazy. He never left that island and from then on all he could say was "quack".

Wouldn't it have been easier just posting this story on your last thread instead of making a whole new thread?
I have a short story posted to DeviantArt.
