Un-duck-lievable: High-flying Fowl's Flight Plan Eclipsed by Shadowy Grue

In a bizarre twist of nature, imagination, and possible weather manipulation, an anthropomorphic duck wearing a classic pilot outfit was reportedly eaten by a grue last Tuesday. Witnesses claim that the fowl dressed in aviator garb was just strutting around, quacking about its upcoming trial to soar the skies, only to be unceremoniously and seemingly randomly consumed by the lurking creature.

The grue, a creature known for its preference for darkness and its equally dark sense of humor, apparently had a field day. Eyewitnesses report it shamelessly patting what can only be assumed is its belly, post heroic-duck consumption. The smug satisfaction haunting its face a blatant slap in the face to our beloved avian's sacrifice.

In response to this shocking occurrence, an unknown artist took it upon himself to honor the brave duck. Come morning, locals discovered a stunning bronze statue, perfectly capturing the valiant spirit of the unlikely pilot. Despite its tragic fate, the memory of our intrepid feathered friend carries on, quite fittingly, on the wings of a dream.
