Donald Grainger, having taken advantage of a local store just across the railroad tracks from his residence, purchased several boxes of Twinkies.

“Twinkies and beer batter,” thought Grainger. “Great stuff.”

Grainger, not really caring about whether what he eats is healthy, covers his favourite snack in beer batter and deep fries it to a golden yellow.

“Too many of those”, said Dorothy Grainger, “is a heart attack waiting to happen.”

Grainger, smiling at his mother, starts his second deep fried Twinkie.

“This is the best deep-fried snack ever,” Grainger told his mother. “You should consider trying one. It’s not deadly.”

A drabble consists of exactly 100 words. The read time is short. Please remain with the article for at least 30 seconds. I would appreciate it if you would leave a comment, highlight anything of interest, and clap.
