Franny hovered over her antique Griswold #8 Cast Iron Deep Chicken Fryer, poking at the golden crisping thighs. Franny was looking forward to this years Bone Gap community picnic cooking contest. The theme was Fast Food. She was entering her version of K.F.C.’s Original Recipe fried chicken.

She placed the done pieces in tender rows upon the daily paper and, as she watched the oil seep into the headlines, her phone rang; “Franny here”.

It was Melba, last years winner, shouting in whispers: “Fra—ny! I g-t a cal-l fro-m Wa-das hus-and!…arre-te… r-c-pe.. hid-! chic—n”!
Franny turned up her Beltone and asked Melba to say it again.
“new-pa-er, he-dline-!”
Franny shouted at Melba to speak up.
“THE GAP’S HEADLINES”! Melba pled, “HURRY”!
As Franny moved to spread out the oil-soaked morning paper, she saw cars racing up her 1/4 mile driveway.
“Please Hurry”! Melba warned, “They’re on their way, read it, it’s all there”!
