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.
It was as if he had known all along that Jason could do it. And he did it. He didn’t turn around to ask Markus if he was ready, he pressed the button with his right thumb and the moon catcher took care of the rest.
He could see it clearly, the road in front of him had disappear transformed into lines and he knew exactly what to do each time the lines broke putting a car or a turn in his trajectory. It was easy. Riding with the moon catcher was easier than walking or even breathing. Jason didn’t want to stop but Markus was knocking at his back repeatedly. He pushed the button against his will once more wondering how far from Green Sun Valley they had gone.

Sounds like a great ride, i wonder though why Markus wants him to stop.
ReplyDeleteWell, if they don't stop they'll go to the end of the desert.
DeleteI'm curious to know why Markus wants him to stop too.
ReplyDeleteHe's got a shop to run, he can't go to the desert with him.
DeleteSounds like a great ride. It's a shame Markus made him stop.
ReplyDeleteNo worries, he'll ride again.
DeleteThis is such an imaginative concept, love it!
ReplyDeleteMarkus probably knows what he doing, which makes me wonder what's with tapping him on the back.
ReplyDeleteMagical ride. I'm glad Markus is along to keep him from getting lost in it.
ReplyDeleteGood thing he has Markus or he'd get caught up in the ride. Great snippet. :)
