Rainbow Snippets is a group for LGBTQ+ authors, bloggers, and readers to gather once a week and share six sentences from a work of fiction–a WIP or a finished work or even a 6-sentence book recommendation (no spoilers please!). Check out all the other awesome snippets by clicking on the picture above.
Picking up from last week’s snippet from a neglected WiP. It’s unedited, so in the words of our fearless leader, “Squint.”
“Faggots.”
The door slammed shut only to open again.
“Clear out. If you’re still on the property in thirty seconds I’m calling the cops.”
So much for huddling in the shelter of the doorway, such as it was.
The door slammed again and Alex turned guiding Tommy away from the church.
“I’m sorry, Tommy. I should have listened to you.”
Tommy shook his head. “No time for that,” he said, his voice raspy as he tried not to cough. Coughing made Alex worry and feel guilty. “What do we do now?”
Alex shook his head. “I don’t know,” he said. “I don’t even know where we are.”
Novel Notes 
Poor Alex and Tommy…what a creep.
Sounds like they’re in a lot of trouble…
Oh no! I hope they find shelter soon!
:( Sounds like Tommy needs a place to stay and quick.
Poor guys, I hope they can find somewhere safe.
Poor guys. How scary. 😢
Poor guys
Poor guys.
So dreadful – although better than I’d hoped, after last week’s snippet I thought they might get attacked! Feel so sorry for them!
