TRANSCRIPT

“We can’t afford another setback,” he said as he pulled up the collar of his raincoat. “If you can’t handle—“

“I can handle it. Don’t worry. I won’t let you down.

The sun had nearly set over the foot bridge. Two people can be seen talking. The soundtrack of frogs and ducks in the background set the scene.

“See that you don’t. The fate of the word depends on what you do here today.”

A head nod between them and a handshake brought their conversation to an end.

Little did they know that trouble had other plans for them tonight.

The 8 of Ducks is a reminder that no matter who you are, no one is truly “beneath” you, and if you push too hard even on people who agreed to work with, or for you, they’ll bite back. Find respect for everyone, even if the social contract says otherwise.
