My third drabble for Challenge 336 – Junk Food at tw100.
Summary: Do doughnuts constitute a threat?
Jack set a box of ordinary-looking doughnuts on the boardroom table.
“Whatever you do, don’t eat these.”
“Why not?” Gwen asked.
“They came through the Rift. Owen took them to run tests; now he’s vanished and there’s an extra doughnut.”
“Owen might be a doughnut?”
“Possibly.”
The team eyed the doughnuts uncertainly.
“Become what you eat,” Ianto said slowly. “Mam used to warn me about that. I never believed her.”
They were still warily watching the doughnuts when Owen walked in. Everyone jumped up, hugging him.
“You’re not a doughnut!” exclaimed Tosh.
Owen stared at them, baffled. “You’re all nuts!”
The End
