The Ugly Duckling

this is inspired from the famous tale of "The Ugly Duckling", where it's just a short dialogue of the duckling and his reflection commiting acts of self-depreciation. it's nothing really special, just a twist on the well known story. would probably add on to it later, who knows.

“I hate you”

the coal covered duckling says to his reflection in the pond

“i hate you too”

responds the rippled image

tearing at each other,

patient for another null comment to be dawned

they both stared in silence

letting the disgust, and disappointment in their eyes be their words
