Christmas 2017 somewhere in the US [Writer SCC2016]

"Sure, just be save. See you." I managed to throw the phone on the living room table. Then I stood there, was paralysed my parents, uncles and cousins with all the nieces and nephews wanted to celebrate Christmas at our place. What should I do? They just told me! It wasn't even a question.
With my head hung low I scuffled towards the kitchen. I got some shopping to do and with the money already being tight thanks to Tims asthma and still the paying off for Lisas appendix operation, how the hell should I put up a decent meal? For 12 people!
I went through all the kitchen counters, nothing I could serve.
Gawd I hate myself I'm such a failure!

The gas hissed into the small room and it looked like the oven had turned into a giant snake swallowing me headfirst.
