My snippet this week is another early one, from when I’d just started posting a weekly flash fiction story. This one was the first series story I posted; I’d written (and actually published!) a few stories told at Demeter’s Bar. Sci-fi tall tales. Here’s the full story: https://authorjeffbaker.com/2016/07/17/monday-flash-fics-july-18-2016the-creature-of-wine-cooler-cove/

Every week we post six lines from a work of ours, a work-in-progress or published or a recommendation of someone else’s work with at least one LGBT character. Posted at Rainbow Snippets here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/RainbowSnippets/posts/6681978791872126

It was about five years ago (Marty said) I was still with my ex-boyfriend Alex, and there was this big party on the beach near where we were living. Lights, surf music, a big archway like you were entering Wine Cooler World or something. We were standing around, drinks in hand, checking out the buff young guys in swim trunks. Then I looked out on the water and saw a lumpy green thing surface. I thought it was a log until it opened its eyes. I’d never seen a sea monster before, but it was in the sea and kind of green and monstery so that was probably what it was.

That’s the snippet for this week! Stay warm!
