Charles Exaveor The 4th

This morning when I went to get breakfast I noticed a bunch of rubber ducks. The ducks were everywhere, I couldn't tell how they got inside especially in this thick snow, but I am very pleased with them and I think I'll keep them. As I began to remember breakfast I realized that I hadn't gone shopping recently. I didn't want to leave the ducks so I decided to post-mate the food. Later in the day I walked into the bathroom and saw more ducks taking a bath. I decided to leave them in there and went back into the living room the see that the ducks had spelled out my name, Charles Exaveor The 4th. I decided that it was time to put the ducks away as it had been getting dark . I put them in a drawer in my bed stand. I went to bed, then in the middle of the night I woke up to a duck at the top of my head holding a knife.
