Rainbow Snippet Nov. 5

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 newest, as yet untitled WIP which is also one of two NaNo projects i am working on this month. 


“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.”

  2. I like that the guy wasn't remotely fazed by Rick's answer. And weirdo that I am, I really really want to know what Rick's eating!

    1. A sandwich his friend gave him. Rick's been tripping for days, so food was the last thing on his mind, the desert and old music however, is all he ever thinks about. He thinks he's found the reincarnation of Morrison, or did, but the guy got sucked into a guitar and vanished (according to Rick lol)

    1. :) In this case, its a sandwich that Rick is too stoned to care about. he doesn't want food, just music.

  4. Heh, I like that his friend just keeps going with the conversation like Rick hasn't said anything strange.
