Comments don't swim which makes them safe for the bath.

This one did not thrill me. It lacks setup for the duck. Why would it attack this time?  Was the bubble bath too pungent?  Rubber ducks don't normally come alive, and without some reason this seems like a writer's whim, not a well-crafted story.  And a rubber beak is not a weapon to break the skin.

The voice over doesn't do much for me.  Is it even needed?  

Best

This one didn't do it for me. Chick + bath + ducky should have a Happy ending.
