A Heartwarming (Redneck) Christmas Drabble

Following suit from Planet Pooks, a drabble is an extremely short work of fiction, exactly 100 words in length. Here goes.

Dale rode his Harley back to the muffler shop to see if there was beer left in the fridge where they kept leftover take-out pizza, raw meat for the dog, brake fluid and more beer.

“Dale! Git that pitbull back to the back because if the constable sees us with any, there’ll be hellfire to pay!” the ancient woman grizzled, jamming her Tiparillo between toothless gums.

“Grandma, I thought you was gonna quit smoking once you got paroled!”

“When reindeers fly, I’ll give it up.”

Dale popped a top to toast her early release, saying, “Hallelujah, Christmas is almost here!”
