Welcome to a new excerpt of Rainbow Catcher for the Weekend Writing Warrior and Snippet Sunday.
Now let's go back to our story.
Summary of previous episodes: Clarissa is coughing and wanted to watch Everett Cooper on TV but Jason refused, she is due to get her rainbow the next day but she seems scared, to make her feel better Jason leave the TV on. Clarissa tried to explain about rainbows, she is a big fan of Everett Cooper but Jason is not too sure about it. Clarissa complained about her dialophone but Jason needs to go to work. Before completely leaving he is thinking about getting her her rainbow. We flashed back to the meeting Jason had with a rainbow seller at the black market. Jason left Clarissa's room to go to work. Jason was talking to his boss about the rainbow coming the next day. Jason prepared the money for the rainbow in a sport bag and went to the hospital. The rainbow seller arrived for the delivery.
Jason needed time on his own he didn’t want to talk. He had made a huge mistake and to fix it, his punishment would be to go away.
“You’re not going to work?” Clarissa asked.
Everett Cooper had said his famous sentence to the camera and it was generally the signal of Jason’s leaving.
“We need to talk first,” he said standing up to close the white curtains. The first sun had already disappear giving the sky a livid greenish color before the night.
“About my rainbow? I know Everett…” Clarissa started.

First sun? How many suns are there?
ReplyDeleteI like the visual of the suns ... nice snippet.
ReplyDeleteGreen sunset, eh? If it wasn't too late at night, I'd try to work out the optics of how that could happen.
ReplyDeleteI love that there are more than one sun. I'm curious about the rainbows.
ReplyDeleteVery cool.
Such an intriguing world revealed in this snippet. :)
ReplyDeleteHopefully the mistake *can* be fixed...good snippet.
ReplyDeleteOh, I really liked the surprise of the first sun going down. Great snippet.
ReplyDeleteWhen he says,"I need to talk," there's trouble ahead. I haven't followed the story but that strikes me as serious business. Truly I expected a dragon lurking but no. You've written rainbows for sale and more whimsy so delightful.
ReplyDeleteJason sounds like his heart is in the right place. I hope he can help get the rainbow to her. Interesting world.
ReplyDeleteThis could be a difficult conversation all right. Can't wait to see what happens next!
ReplyDeleteHow is he going to break it to her? And she has such faith in Everett Cooper...
ReplyDeleteI'm gradually getting a feel for their world, and it's so intriguing! Looking forward to next week.

Your world is becoming more and more interesting. Rainbow that heal. Two suns. And the shocker that she knows about her rainbow. :) :)
ReplyDelete"About my rainbow?" THAT is the big question--and he has to get the answer!
ReplyDeleteIt's sad that he feels he has to leave as a punishment, hopefully not for long.
ReplyDeleteSo sad. Feel for them both.
