Rainbow Snippet 9/27/20202


 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/


From my current WIP Tattered Angel Coming October 16
A little more than six sentences this week:

“Well, if you guys are gonna waste time, I’ll get the first shower then,” Riley grumbled, moving to squeeze past them when a soft meow caught his attention. A fluffy gray and white cat, looking barely half-grown, preened beneath the hands that were rubbing its ears and running fingertips down its back. The little thing let out a tiny sneeze, then went about licking its paw and grooming its whiskers while the guys lavished attention on it.

“Where’d the cat come from?” he asked, as he reached over Damien’s shoulder to pet the little ball of floof.

“Stepped outta the club and it was standin’ there meowin’ a greeting at us,” Zakk explained. “Damien scooped it up to check for a collar, and it decided to cling to his jacket until he brought it inside.”

“It seems to be a foregone conclusion that the fluffy little beast is a stray,” Damien said.

“So, what, are we planning on giving it a ride to the pound or…”

“We’re plannin’ on makin’ it our mascot,” Zakk replied, scratching its ears until the little kitty began to purr.

“Who ever heard of a cat on a tour bus,” Riley muttered, and yet, its fur was so soft he couldn’t resist petting it more.

“Cats, dogs, birds, fish, I know guys who have taken bearded dragons and boa constrictors on tour with them,” Dez muttered. “She’s adorable.”

“How do you know it’s a she?” Riley asked.

Dez raised its tail a little and pointed, “’Cause she don’t have nuts.”

  1. Cats do seem to choose their people, don't they? :)

  2. Aww, love the description of the cat, and how while they're discussing her fate, she gets on with the important business of washing.
