Today's OneWord: Gourmet

You prepare a gourmet dinner for sixteen guests, all wearing frills and ruffles and smoking cigars. You fill snifters with your father's brandy and watch the gold fade to pewter once it's swished around in gaping mouths, red tongues flapping wet with alcohol and gossip and words you'd usually never speak.

Your uncle loves these parties and he insists that you host them. But in the end, you only wish to fade into the wallpaper as they laugh, belch, and rave.
