Rainbow Snippet: Halfway to Someday 1/11/2020


Rainbow Snippets gives writers a chance to share six sentences (and sometimes a little more) of LGBTQ+ fiction every weekend. Check out the Rainbow Snippets group on Facebook for more snippets: https://www.facebook.com/groups/RainbowSnippets/


“You know I’ve listened to every CD you ever sent me and have most of Wild Child’s lyrics memorized, but the stuff he was singing up here? It was from a really dark place. About hurting and death and hating who he’d become.”
“That’s not like Jesse. He always said music was supposed to be a celebration of life. He hated touching on the darker aspects and said he never felt he could do them justice.”
“Well, I think something happened to change all that.”
“That’s what I want to know! That stubborn bastard. Why run? Why not fucking talk to me, goddamn it!”
“Maybe because the moment you had him on the phone you blew up at him!” 


Coming January 27, 2020 from Nine Star Press

  1. Well, yeah. That would probably be the reason. Great snippet and I hope we get more from it next week.

  2. Wow, intense dialogue that leaves me hanging on the edge of my seat at the character-driven picture they've hurled in violent, yet eye-catching splatters at each other!

  3. Poor Jesse. I wonder what happened that seeped into his music that way.
