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.
“Keep going, keep going,” Markus said encouragingly.
Jason constantly looked at the quadrant. He knew that higher than 60 tours per minutes Markus would ask him to start the moon catcher and he didn’t feel ready for that... Not yet.
He tried to maintain the speed lower for a bit but it was useless, the bumps in the road were making it difficult to stay at one particular speed and keep his balance then higher speed seemed more comfortable.
Jason took a deep breath, he had to do it, at least just this once, and the sooner he would do it, the sooner he would stop, if he was ever able to stop.
He accelerated suddenly. He could feel Markus move to get his feet more in the back of the bike's ground.

ReplyDeleteI like the way the tension is increasing along with the decision to increase speed...
