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.
Clarissa had asked him what he really wanted to do and maybe being a doctor was not the real answer. He had just been copying the people around him without really thinking about it. Doctor Marshall was a good person so being a doctor would also probably make him a good person. But the answer wasn’t so obvious anymore. Jason took the key from Markus hand and stood up. He was going to hunt that rainbow down and the first step was to know if he wanted to ride this bike or not. He just had to progress toward the goal, one step at a time and he would probably find the answer and the rainbow, just one step at a time the same way Markus and millions of people had been doing it before him.
“Good decision kid,” Markus said getting up too.

Ride a bike vs become a doctor. Decisions, decisions.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like Jason may find more than a rainbow in the desert -- he may get lucky and find himself, too.
ReplyDeleteI hope he gets it soon. :) :)
