Rainbow Snippet November 19

Rainbow Snippets is a group for LGBTQ+ authors, readers, and bloggers to gather once a week to share six sentences from a work of fiction–a WIP or a finished work or even a 6-sentence book recommendation (no spoilers please!).

In this group you’ll find anything from romance and historical fiction to mystery and YA. The common thread is that every story’s main character identifies as LGBTQ+. The snippets could range from zero flames to full-on sexytimes, anything goes content-wise. The only rule is snippets will be 6 sentences long–one for each color in the Pride flag.

I would invite everyone to please come check out the Rainbow Snippets group, click on a link, read and comment on the writing available and get involved yourselves in this awesome exercise. The link to the group can be found HERE. 

Today's Snippet is from my NaNo project, which was finishing up my freebie friday story ....and all shall fade to black. Anyone wishing to read pieces of it can find them on my blog. This comes almost immediately after the first kiss between the main characters. I've verified in at over 50,000 words at this point, so the story is well on its way to finally beiing done. 

“Oh yeah, my friend, it’s zombie kill night.”

“In that case lead the way, I need to shoot shit tonight.”

“Yeah? Why?”

“’Cause it’ll take my mind off how bad I wanna beat on the door ‘till he answers, then kiss him senseless.”

Max laughed as they headed down the stairs.

“You my friend, have issues, don’t let this turn into another Shiro.”

Jax stumbled, nearly tumbling down the last few steps. His hand gripped the railing while his heart thundered in his chest.

“What do you mean, turn into another Shiro, there was never anything between Shiro and I but friendship.”

“Exactly.”

Today's Snippet is from my newest, as yet untitled WIP which is also one of two NaNo projects I am working on this month. 

Sometimes he wondered if there would be anyone left to miss him besides the colors, and what would happen to him once they all faded away.

“I wish I could see the world the way he saw it,” Rick finally admitted. “All lit up with fireflies and flower children, electric blue snakes slithering through midnight streets while the ghosts banged buffalo drums and sang to the old gods of the desert.”

“Morrison…or Erik?”

“Both.”

“Sometimes, I think Erik might be his reincarnation. That would be so cool. I wish he’d tell me though, if he is, I’ve got a billion questions for him.”

“Stranger things have happened.”

“Like me?”

“Stop pickin’ at it and eat the damn thing.”

“Wasn’t really hungry.”

“Eat the food, Rick, and tell me more about the desert. What the hell would you be looking for in cactus and sand?”

Rick took a small bite and swallowed it without chewing so he wouldn’t have to taste anything. “Morrison’s ghost,” he said once he’d swallowed.

“Really, and what will you do if you find it?”

“Ask him about the snake, and the roaming ghosts, and the drums.”

“You got music in your veins, kiddo, that might be the only thing that saves you.”
