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: [LINK] https://www.facebook.com/groups/963484217054974

I’m not sure if I ever posted anything from my story “Deliveries In The Rear” https://authorjeffbaker.com/2016/08/21/monday-flash-fiction-for-august-22-2016-deliveries-in-the-rear/ so here are a couple of snippets. We meet a group of friends in the 1980s waiting to get into a local Gay bar, whose name is the title of our story.

“Hey, Mickey, how much cash you got?” Jason asked me.

“About twenty bucks, why?” I said.

“Looks like they’re doing a cover charge. And I brought my I. D. but not my wallet.” Jason said. He was always forgetting his wallet.

“Great,” I grumbled. This was 1982, and the only gay bar in the area.

Okay, just a little more!

“I should have thought about bringing some beer to wait to get into a bar,” Chris said. “Hey, there’s a sign on the door.”

“Lemmie check,” Jason said.

“Cover charge is five bucks a head, it’s for some charity,” Jason said as he walked back. “Says something else; that slaves get in free with their masters.”

“Kinky!” Chris said with a grin.

The picture, incidentally, was the prompt that inspired the story. (Neither of those guys are me!)

Next week, something by someone else who isn’t me! Till then, take care!—–jeff
