WeWriWar 185: Rainbow catcher



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.
We start just where we left off last week.


“Now is the most important part, the desert himself, but Gena knows more about it than me as she had been living there for many years, that’s where we met,” Markus said taking Gena’s hand over the table.
Jason looked at him wondering how Gena felt about him saying desert people were not trustable as she was one of them. But Gena didn’t seem to mind, or maybe she was already used to Markus's way of never trusting anyone.
“The first thing you have to remember is to protect your skin. In the desert, you will be closer to the suns than ever. And often close to both of them at the same time. Never take your shirt off, no matter how hot you feel and never show your skin to the suns they would bite you to death. You will need to use oil all the time, drink some too after water. The oil will stay on the inside of your throat and keep the water inside your cells as water and oil repulse each other.

  1. Very interesting snippet! I'm intrigued by this buying and selling of rainbows concept. Love the bit about drinking oil to keep the water in.

  2. Thinking I don't want to live where there is more than one sun - yikes.
    And there's a tiny typo - never take your shirt of - I'm guessing some internet gremlin stole the 2nd f.

  9. Sounds like Gena is coming around a bit and is willing to help Jason, or at least give him advice since he's going whether she likes it or not.

  15. I like the image of suns biting someone to death. I feel like that sometimes under a single desert sun, I can only imagine two!

  16. Great imagery with the 2 suns. The warnings make this trek into the desert seem even more dangerous.
