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

Here’s a snippet from my latest Friday Flash Fiction story “Christmas In Reverse.” https://authorjeffbaker.com/2024/08/02/christmas-in-reverse-friday-flash-fics-by-jeff-baker-august-2nd-2024/ We meet Chris and Terry, a happily ensconced M/M couple who just had new carpet installed in their house and are moving the furniture back where it belongs. Here, they’re taking a break on the sofa they just moved.

“But we have made progress,” Cliff said looking around the house. “All that furniture we had crammed into the living room and kitchen yesterday.”

“And all your folks’ and my folks’ stuff was, well, still where it was.” Terry said with a laugh.

“Yeah.” Cliff said. “I wish you could have met my Mom. She would have liked you.”

“Thanks.” Terry said, holding Cliff’s hand and reaching over to kiss his husband.

“Look at that stuff,” Terry said. “It’s kind of like Christmas in reverse!”

“And we gotta put it all back. “Ho-ho-ho.” Cliff said.

I based this a little on helping some family move furniture last week. Next week, since it’s hot, something hot. In fact, NSFW! Till then, I am ever yours—-jeff
