A Christmas Mistake

Posted on 12/13/2009 by LynnAlexander

I thought I’d broken her neck. Mistake. She was a tough old bird, her breasts large but her skin had seen better days. I raised the cleaver and brought the steel down on her throat. Blood spurted across the table. Next Christmas I was going to buy a frozen turkey.

    Ah, so you are a white meat kind of guy. Me, I go for the skin. The tougher the better.

    50 words that definitely put a different Twist to any Christmas Carol.
