“Hello Sandra, what are you and Jim are doing for Thanksgiving?”

“We don’t have any plans.”

“Why don’t you come over and have Thanksgiving dinner with us?”

“Ohhhh, that would be great. What can I bring to go with the turkey?”

“TURKEY? Oh NO Sandra. W aren’t having turkey! We don’t believe in purposefully killing living birds and animals to fulfill our own culinary pleasure.”

“So, have you become vegetarians?”

“No – we’re having Road Kill Stew. The animals in it were not killed purposefully!”

“Ummm, Where do you get the ingredients?”

“No, we could never make this ourselves. We have found this magnificent product already canned. It is packed in Mississippi River water and the road kill has never been on the road for more than 3 days! That’s just long enough to bring out the flavor but not botulism.”

“What’s in it?”

“Mostly rabbit, skunk, possum, coon, squirrel, armadillo, frog and carrots.”

“Oh, I’m so sorry Sue. I just remembered – Jim is allergic to carrots! Bye”

    Sorry, my story had too many characters and I had to cut some and rewrite a little and in the process I deleted an “e” out of WE!!! Hope you enjoy it anyway.

    I wouldn’t trust the Mississippi River water, disgusting! And I wouldn’t eat wildlife. Bring me a turkey any day!

    I love the allergic to carrots line!

    Great closing line. Way to use the punchline to effect.

    My only beef is the lack of contractions. It seems stilted to me reading “We have found” and “It is packed”. Even a few would make the speaker more plausible.

    Reading this I noticed both you and Jenunique format very well, with enough whitespace to make it very readable, a pet peeve of mine when it’s not around.
