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/963484217054974 I promised something spooky and mysterious for this week. Okay, here’s a bit from my story “Davey, What The Hell Happened To You?” https://authorjeffbaker.com/2022/10/01/davey-what-the-hell-happened-to-you-friday-flash-fics-a-day-late-from-jeff-baker-october-1st-2022/ We meet boyfriends Davey and Chuck speeding down the highway in their car…

“So that’s it,” Davey said sitting there in the passenger seat. “It isn’t all going to end some day, it isn’t real.”

“What isn’t real,” Chuck said keeping his eyes on the road.

Davey tapped the dashboard. “This. Everything. Us. Hindus believe everything is destroyed and reborn in a cycle and they aren’t even real.”

Davey had always been a little “out there,” even a year before when he and Chuck had actually dated, but he hadn’t been this far out.

I hope Davey’s wrong! But here’s another snippet…

“I mean, it’s all an illusion,” Davey said. “Look, you know that speed zone sign up here past the curve?”

Chuck knew it. His Dad had called it a speed trap sign.

“Always been there, right?” Davey said, “Well, not if I don’t want it to be.”

“ I see the curve,” Chuck said slowing down. But he didn’t see the sign. It wasn’t there.

Chuck laughed. “Yeah, they took the sign down and you’re playing it like it’s The Twilight Zone or something.”

Oooookay. That was weird. And a little over six lines, but you gotta get a “Twilight Zone” reference in! Next week, I promise something a little lighter! Till then, take care!
