Prompt: Christmas Turkey


It was to burned to resemble a turkey at all. It sort of smelled like charcoal, and it made the five-month along future mother cry. It was the first Christmas that Remus and her were together, and it was in the middle of a war too. The two were in hiding, but she wanted to make a nice dinner for them. But then Dora forgot the turkey in the oven.

"What is that smell?" asked Remus, at the doorway. He was covering his nose. Dora started crying louder. Remus took one look at the burned turkey, then wrap his arms around Dora.

"It's okay, Dora. There is always next Christmas."

Neither knew they would be dead by next Christmas.
