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.

Gunshot
"No thank you, I'm full." Is a gunshot in the air.
My ears ring, tongue licking lips to clear them of the gunpowder.
The duellists beneath this yellow lighting- a ninety-one year old immigrant grandmother, and a thirty-something girlfriend.
I watch, my eyelids peeled against my will (my torturer; the grip of familial penchant for drama).
My grandmother grins. All rates-ratus (grab a pipe, or a glass of wine)
"Ai-th-ee, please see this whorish-mule of a woman out."
She says to my brother; the boyfriend.
Shotgun shells litter the floor as she pushes her chair back, and disappears to pray.
