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.
Jason was not used to that kind of
speech coming from Markus. Generally, Markus's speech was limited to
“this cannot be trusted” or “you shouldn’t do that”.
He
looked at the man sitting next to him with new eyes. Markus had a
life before, something totally different from what he had expected.
Jason had been looking at people as if they were fixed, as if they
had always been what they were and would always be, he suddenly
realized that the Markus riding that bike was a totally different
person than the Markus he knew in the garage.
Would he have liked the
Markus from before? The one doing drugs or obsessed with riding?
Jason wondered a bit about himself and how far away from his real
self he actually was.
