Thanksgiving is
tomorrow(or today depending on when you read this, you may be signed
up through email or something. Ah reading posts on the Internet can
be a bit like time travel eh?) so I am excited to see family. Anyway
onto the flash fiction!
Thankful For
Thanksgiving
My turkey
brothers and sisters on the farm look up to the sky and see
nightfall. Thanksgiving is coming and will pass. We all thank the
heavens that Thanksgiving is here. We have our cornmeal dinner the
night before and pray to a lucky next year.
Why would a
turkey be thankful for Thanksgiving? It is not Thanksgiving season we
are thankful for. That is when the farmers send us to the slaughter.
No it is the coming passing of Thanksgiving day. Not being picked for
the slaughter. There are very few of us left after Thanksgiving
season so we count ourselves lucky to be the last standing. At most
the farmer will take one of us for dinner, but he usually never
touches us since we are meant to be shipped off to the store. He also
tired of our meat before I was even born because of his occupation.
So another
year, another time of mass slaughter passing. Now the amount of us
taken will go back down and it'll feel more safe around the farm.
