In the housing projects, Maura and Arline are known as troublemakers. They are just a couple of kids constantly in search of fun and adventure, but too poor to indulge in anything on a grand scale or requiring a big budget. They are limited to petty theft and incidents that create problems for those living around the block. This is the story of one of their escapades. The two friends are unable to write on the sidewalk because they lack chalk and don't have the funds to buy some. They devise a scheme to locate a lawn duck made of chalk that will serve their purpose. The housing projects where they live have many lawn ducks. They just have to get their hands on one so they can draw the "World's Biggest Hopscotch" game. One Duck Missing is the story of how they achieve this goal ... and suffer the consequences. Kramer Greenfield grew up in the projects in Revere, Massachusetts, and now lives in Derry, New Hampshire, where she is a medical technician. This story was inspired by her childhood relationship with her best friend. Her work has been published in numerous anthologies and she writes freelance for two newspapers. She once wrote a weekly humor column for a local newspaper. Her first book, The Blessings and Sorrows of Schlumel the Angel, was published last year and is available in print and eBooks.
