WeWriWar 221: 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.

The shop was made of stone, yellow stones from the desert, the kind of stones that just hadn’t been transformed into sand yet but would probably be one day. One thing the desert had told Jason during his first ride was that nothing could stop it. There was a little girl playing with a broken doll at the entrance. The big smile on her face reminded Jason of Clarissa’s before their parents died. He wondered if he would ever see her smile so innocently or if the lost of their parents and the pain of her disease had forever taken her joy away from her. He walked around observing. The entire village seemed to be standing at the bar watching TV, playing darts or sitting at the tables to read newspapers. He asked himself how many people could be living here.
