November Drabble: NO THANK YOU
It's now Thanksgiving season, but let's mix this up a little. Give me a drabble incorporating the phrase "No thank you" in some way. Break it up. Use it all at once. Whatever. Just put "No" "Thank" and "You" in there somewhere. Wanna win? Here are the rules: Exactly 100 words using conventional spelling, grammar, and punctuation. Prose only. Poetry will be mocked, cussed, and set afire. I'll pick a winner sometime around December 2.
A Polite Pass
Her posture, stiffly genteel, was off-begging. “No, thank you,” it imparted.
A magnet steeling my arrogance.
Sensing the weight of the work ahead, but never one to shirk a trying task, I folded my stiffly-starched cuffs to my elbows. Primly primed, I took the seat beside hers, though there were other, less encroaching seats available.
Her sigh oozed her disappointment. “Really?”
“I prefer a chair’s potential to it’s comfort.”
“Hmmm... that is how I choose my shoes, and this pair is potentially walking away.”
”See? What chair could offer a better view than that… pray-tell?”
Aaah, a smile... before parting.
