Being Chased

On my walk back from the media labs at Chandos building I had a very peculiar and terrifying encounter. It’s piercing eyes and overpowering, muscular body intimidated me. It edged towards me, its wide feet slowly taking one step closer at a time. Then it let out a shrieking noise that could have been heard from a mile away, stretching its neck up so that it could empower itself. At this point it started to charge towards me, moving every body part so that it made itself look bigger. Its neck bent forward so that the tip of its forehead was aimed at me.

Out of nowhere it stopped charging. It was suddenly being chased away. Its body became hunched over and every limb was drawn back into its body and was hidden away.  It turned away from looking at me and ran away. What was chasing it away were 3 small figures. Much smaller than itself. They came out of the shadow. These three small figures were all very similar, especially in their height and body shapes. They all disappeared into the shadows behind rows of cars.

Can you guess what it was that chased after me? – It was a goose.

Can you now guess what the three figures were? – They were ducks.


Yes. This is actually true, I was chased by a goose and three little ducks came out and chased it away. It’s amazing what the little things can do.
