They sat there for quite some time before they got the courage to pick up their big webbed feet one by one and cross the forbidden land.
There were no exchanges of quacks or glances, just silence and blank stares until finally it was decided that they could no longer be where they were.
Together they waddled carefully across the hot black pavement and through the long wispy grass, still not sure of what would be on the other side.
The wind ruffled their feathers with such intent as if that was how they were supposed to be all along.

They sat side by side staring at the small body of water in front of them and it was in that moment that they discovered as long as they had one another they would always be home.
