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.

Unknown Escape
The murky brown void is tipped over the brim from the depths of the ring. A single drop trickles down into the crystal glass to make the maroon liquid fizzle black until it settles and once again appears as simply wine. The ring is flipped shut, obscuring the ruinous pit and a black glove is slipped over.
Jovial chatter echoes through the lounge as the glass is carried across the carpeted floor. Unsuspecting faces flick smiles towards the movement in relaxed waves.
The gloved hand extends death to an over-zealous being.
"No thank you."
Heads turn and the conversation continues.
