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. But it was a scam and Jason prepares to go get the rainbow himself in the desert. Markus has a last surprise for him.
They were just beautiful colors on the
dichromatic sky. He always thought that if you could touch something,
it was particles, palpable like Gena’s cream spaghetti. If you
couldn't touch it was waves like the sound of Clarissa’s excited
voice saying good morning. He wondered if once dead they could be
transformed into full waves and travel to some nice place together,
maybe meet their parents again.
“You’re sleeping in your plate
kid,” Markus's voice took him away from his thoughts.
Jason was about to cry, he didn’t
feel that anything he could do now to save Clarissa was going to be
successful. He tried to put a smile on his face and started to chew
his spaghettis more efficiently. Markus and Gena didn’t need to
know about his doubts.

My heart aches for him in this snippet.
ReplyDeleteI think you just broke my heart. He's trying so hard to be strong for Clarissa but I think he's breaking on the inside. So much emotion.
