My third drabble for Challenge 288 – Reverse fandom – Last of the Summer Wine at tw100 - and I have another one for tomorrow! Did I mention I rather like this prompt? I'm playing around with a couple of other ideas too, but I don't know if anything will come of them.
Summary: Owen is being less than tactful, so Tosh sets him straight.
“It’s that day again,” Owen announced breezily, striding into the Hub. “Time to defrost Frozen Turkey guy. How time flies. Seems like we stuffed him back in the freezer only yesterday.”
Tosh was appalled. “He has a name, Owen; Tommy Brockless. You could at least try to show him some respect.”
Owen raised his hands in mock surrender. “Sorry, Tosh, just trying to inject some humour into the situation.”
“Well don’t. Tommy deserves more than cheap jokes. He only gets to live one day a year, it’s up to us to make that day worth living.”
Owen sobered.
“Yeah, okay.”
The End
