Drafts of the Girl - #11 Duck's Comical Life

 

Day 03: Friday, 13.42 p.m. 

As I've written before, Duck is my funny friend, a Paradoxical Introvert.  

Interesting thing about her is, 

She and Grim reaper have coffee together every day. 

Here are her misadventures:  

• Near death from a bee sting. 
• Motorcycle accident from slipping on an empty road. 
• Dislocated her knee from doing, well, nothing. 
• Rare skin allergy from sweating.
• Had to go on braces with weak forearm muscles. 
• Near death again from another bee sting. 
• Mental issues—Has it all.
• Gave death scare to people with Rash driving.
• Nearly broke bones from slipping on someone's vomit. 
• Escaped freezing to death in Shimla. 
• Greeted Mumtaz by throwing up in front of her grave.
• Another rare allergy from eating ice creams. 

Also a Menace To Everyone Around

• Forced me to read a suggestive book in the classroom—I involuntarily blushed like a tomato.
• Persuaded a poor soul to read contemporary romance— Now her standards are high.
• Introduced a specific genre of music into my life—I haven't been the same since. 
• Gave relationship advice - She has never been in one.
• Killed an innocent goat - While learning to drive. 
• Committed a Heinous crime - Fried a chapatti roll filled with Ketchup. 

Albeit perceived as silent by the world, she is in truth a wild, daring, outspoken, humorous, hopeless romantic. Like phantoms finding each other, we saw each other in the midst of chaos. She showed me a realm of soul-soothing music, heart-aching books, mind-boggling conspiracies, and horrendous reality.

Takeaway?

Despite having loads of misadventures, she still manages to bring smiles. 

She is a ducking brave Duck.
