In the murky domain where man meets the quagmire,
A soul lost and a duck, entwined in hell’s lyre.
Through the muck and the whispers, a grim pact unfurls,
A man haunted by demons, a duck in the underworld.
Beneath the pallid moon, their journey unfolds,
In the shadows of remorse, where the truth molds.
No laughter, no solace, just a spectral march,
Through the haunted reeds, in the grip of the dark.
The duck, a specter, with eyes that held woe,
Quacking like echoes from a realm down below.
The man, a ghost, clad in sins and despair,
Their destinies entangled in the venomous air.
“Quack,” spoke the duck, as the man trudged ahead,
Each step carving deeper into a realm of dread.
A silent agreement, sealed in the swamp’s murk,
As they treaded the path where the shadows lurk.
Through the swamps they ventured, shadows in tow,
The man’s past a tempest, his conscience a foe.
In the heart of the marsh, where redemption grew thin,
The duck witnessed sins, whispered by the man within.
Days bled into nights, their journey unending,
In the swamp’s haunted silence, secrets descending.
The man, a vessel of darkness, a story untold,
His sins, like vultures, in the shadows took hold.
In the depth of despair, the man broke the spell,
Unveiling his sins to the duck, a witness from hell.
“Quack,” said the duck, in a voice filled with sorrow,
As the man unraveled, a shipwrecked tomorrow.
The twist, obscured in the marsh’s desolation,
A revelation that drowned in self-flagellation.
The duck, a harbinger of doom on silent wings,
Bore witness to a soul lost, as the darkness sings.
In the heart of the swamp, where shadows devour,
The man met his fate in the witching hour.
The duck, a phantom, on waters so black,
Carried away secrets, never to look back.
