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.
He released her and helped her back on her pillow.
“Not if it is the only way I have to talk to you.”
She handed him the little device.
“I’ll show you how to do it, look,” Jason said passing the dialophone bracelet around his wrist.
He pushed the middle button on the left side and the device turned on, opening a circular screen a bit larger than the boy's hand on his wrist.
“Hello Jason,” the dialophone said.
Jason pressed the screen down to make it flat again and the dialophone turned off.
“See if I try to make the screen stand straight it cuts the power,” Clarissa said.

I do enjoy a good device-reveal sequence...
ReplyDeleteThat dialophone seems complicated. He got it to work, though, hope he can show her ow to use it.
ReplyDeleteOh I hope she can learn to use her dialophone, from one technically challenged person to another- I feel her pain.
ReplyDeleteThe dialophone sounds really cool. I hope she can get it to work for her.

Having just had my computer crash (blue screen of death - oops) I know just how she feels! I hope she manages to make it work. Entertaining sequence - I'm intrigued to know what will happen when she does get her rainbow.
ReplyDeleteOh dear! Why can't she make it work?
ReplyDeleteHi tech is so great...when it works LOL. Great snippet!
ReplyDeleteI have to go to work this afternoon and deal with a computer that shuts down in the middle of my med pass. I feel her pain.
