Where Have All the Ducks Gone?

My heart was broken today.
I went to visit mirror lake this afternoon and see how the 15 baby ducks I was so taken with a month ago were doing. When I got there I discovered something horrible.
There is only one baby duck left.
I do not know where the other 14 baby ducks have gotten to, but I'm pretty sure they died. This fear was confirmed by another student who said she was fairly certain they hadn't survived.
The worst part is, the lone baby duck just paddled around the pond chirping sadly. Not even its mother paid any attention to it. It was all alone.
I have to stop writing now or I'm going to cry.
