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.
Clarissa looked at the dialophone totally unconvinced.
“I’ll ask Markus, I think he will know better.”
“I can promise you he will not try all the words in the language,” Jason said.
“Maybe,” Clarissa answered yawning.
“Are you tired?” Jason asked. Clarissa nodded but she was still full of questions.
“How are you going to go to the desert?”
Hmm...still seems like she's stalling him. :-)
ReplyDeleteA rainbow in the desert? Yet another little detail that makes your rainbows intriguing.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if he has the answer to that, considering that this is Plan B.
ReplyDeleteI wondered why she kept persisting, then i read Teresa's comment ... that'd make sense.
ReplyDeleteSounds like she's going to get all those questions out no matter how tired she is. Great snippet!
ReplyDeleteI think Teresa's right, and he seems as if he's really getting impatient with her persistence. Or maybe that's just a brother thing. ;-)

Ooh, Teresa made a good point I hadn't thought about - it does seem like she's trying to delay him. Interesting.
ReplyDeletePerhaps he is getting impatient.
ReplyDeleteTo me it seems that she finally reached a point where she is just not interested (yawning)
ReplyDeleteInteresting... seems like she's going to have to be convinced to continue to go along with this.
ReplyDeleteSo many questions. Interesting that he must travel to the desert to find a rainbow. I'm curious about that. Does she want him to go? Does she fear for him if he does?
ReplyDeleteOh, I sure hope the desert travel involves more technology
ReplyDeleteShe doesn't seem as enthusiastic as she might be; or is she a little scared?
ReplyDeleteInformation overload, I think. She's too tired to care. :D
ReplyDeleteGetting rainbows sounds dangerous...
ReplyDeleteHow much does a rainbow cost, I wonder? And what will she do with it? Lots of great story questions come to mind as I read your snippets.
ReplyDeletelol - I like he won't try all the words in the language.
ReplyDeleteHmm - wondering - she's seems to be stalling - so what's up???
ReplyDeleteI'm starting to think a lot like the others, she seems to be stalling him from leaving. I think she's afraid of maybe dying alone while he's off trying to find a desperate save for her.
