Rainbow Snippets gives writers a chance to share six sentences (and sometimes a little more) of LGBTQ+ fiction every weekend.
“Look,
I um, gotta be honest. I wasn’t planning to get a room at the motel, more like
city park. Even if I get a job, I can’t afford the motel until I get my first
paycheck, so umm, if you’ll just let me out at the hardware store, that’ll be
more than good enough.”
When the
truck jerked to a stop, Nash was grateful for the seatbelt or he’d have hit the
dash.
“You’re
planning to sleep in the park?”
“Yeah,
if I get a job, if not, well, then how much will it cost to scrap the bike?”
“You
can’t be serious right now.”
Nash
poured all of his effort into making his voice as harsh and firm as he could.
“How much!”
“Nothing.
We don’t work that way. We give cash based on the weight of the metal, which, I
have to admit, wouldn’t be much for an old bike like that.”
