 Microwave Wedding

 by

Philipp Mischke

A kitchen filled with groceries and dishes- Afternoon 

Magda her hair disheveled, red cheeks, and her hands full with grocery bags rushes into the kitchen, trying to find an empty place on one of the counters to drop them. Unsuccessfully, she decides to set them on the floor and starts to dig deep in them on her search for her desired item.In her search she throws around the other groceries, groans from exhaustion and finally espies it; the turkey.

Magda

(angry)

I only got 15 god damn minutes left, 

so your turkey butt better burn fast!

We see her hastily tearing apart the wrapping of the turkey and sprinting towards the other side of the kitchen opening the door of the microwave. As it turns out the microwave is too small for the huge turkey, which she tries to solve by forcefully trying to push it in.

Magda

(screaming at the Turkey)

I will get you in there no matter what and then
I will microwave you until death and beyond!

Out of despair we see her leave the room, returning after a few minutes with a hammer in her hand heading determined towards the already crushed chicken.

Magda

(sarcastic)

You two will be a cute couple.
