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!).
“We’ve got a fuckin’ problem,” Mark growled, stepping in the
kitchen of Wreck’s house before the coffee was ready.
“No we don’t, isn’t there a standing rule, no problems
before ten a.m.?” Wreck muttered.
“Yeah well, tell that to the universe.”
“I will when I’m awake.”
“Shawn broke his ankle at Shenanigans last night, and Taylor
got arrested for brawling in the streets with a couple other girls. She’ll be
cooling her heels in a cell for thirty days at least.”
“Which puts us down two for tonight’s demo,” Wreck
concluded.
“Now you see the problem.”
Nice!
ReplyDeleteI can see the problem all right. Enjoyed the snippet, thought the 'voice' was very true-to-life.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely loved this conversation about no problems before coffee! That's me at work!
ReplyDeleteThat is definitely a pickle of a problem.
