The Curse of the Duck's Red Eyes

“So we have two hours of free time. What do you wanna-” My dad asked.
“Boat ride! Boat ride!” I interrupted.


My dad laughed and bought the tickets for the boat ride. As I walked into the boat, my dad said I was old enough to go on the boat by myself. I hugged my parents and walk into the huge figure.


The boat was wide and a white sealing. There were eight rows of seats on the left, and the same on the right. I sat down in one of the seats. One by one, more people came. Suddenly, the captain started speaking.


“Hello everyone. My name is Ray. “Please stay seated during the ride. Under the seat you will find a life jacket. Thank you.”


I looked under my seat, and sure enough, there was a life jacket. Blurb! Grrrrrr! Rustle, Rustle. The boat started to move. I laughed the whole way as the wind blew in my hair.


I saw many people (including the captain) looking at a duck. Suddenly, the duck’s eyes turned red. The people on the boat’s eyes turned yellow. Then pink. Then red. I found out the duck’s eyes were hypnotizing them. So, I tried not to stare at the eyes.


One man walked to the door and opened it. Then, he jumped into the ocean. HE JUMPED! One by one, everyone, including the captain, Jumped out the door. Finally, I was the only person one left.


I didn't know what to do! Suddenly, I heard something. Blub. Blub. I looked down. I was sinking! I walked towards the door and jumped.


The cold, icy, water blasted into my face. Something grabbed onto my leg. I looked down. A weird type of fish (I think) was wrapped around my leg.


“Wait, that’s no fish! That’s the captain! The captain of the boat!” I said.


Blood ran from his mouth. His eyes were still red. “Umm… Captain? Can you hear me? How many fingers am I holding?” I asked holding up four fingers.


“ bleh, bleh. Ooooooh! Fingers! Fingers hundred! Look! I have fingers too!” The captain answered.


I sighed. He started waving his arms everywhere and making duck sounds. Then, I shaked his body and finally, I punched the captain. He fell down and I grabbed his body before he fell into the sea floor.


I couldn’t hold the captain much longer. He was too heavy. I didn't have time to get the others. So, instead, I just brought the captain to the sea shore. My family was their with many police.


“Ruchi! There you are! Where were you, and who are you holding?” My mom asked frightened.


“Mom! The boat sunk. Everyone jumped out of the boat because they were hypnotized! This is the captain.” I answered.


Suddenly, the captain’s eyes opened.
“Huh? Where am I! All I remember was staring at a duck…..”


The End
