"Pardon me," said Tom T. Urkee..."
That’s this week’s prompt from Jenny Matlock’s Saturday Centus. Trot on over to her site by clicking on the Saturday Centus link above to learn all about it. You will find a diverse community of talented and supportive writers. Be sure to read all of the posts. If you don’t, you’ll no doubt miss something really good. Also, check out Jenny’s ...off on my tangent. She’s a great writer.
My take on this week’s prompt:
Sitting in the Corner Café, the group spoke of Thanksgiving - where they would be, who they would see, the most dreaded relative who would attend.
They chewed on toast and drank coffee, and the conversation died away as they lost themselves in thought.
"Pardon me," said Tom T. Urkee, as he waddled to the table. “May I sit down?” He perched on a chair, and the conversation once more sprang to life.
“We were discussing Thanksgiving. You know, the holiday we love to hate.”
“Jeez, folks,” gobbled Tom. How the heck do you think I feel? I’m on the menu.”
