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 This one is from a little flash fiction chiller I wrote about five years ago for the Flash Fiction Draw Challenge. The drawn prompts were a science fiction story set in a castle and including a tea press; consider it an homage to one of my very favorite authors. Enjoy “Tea And Enmity.” https://authorjeffbaker.com/2020/01/14/tea-and-enmity-by-jeff-baker-for-cait-gordons-flash-fiction-draw-challenge-january-14-2020/

“Got your flashlight?” Luc asked.

“Yeah,” I said. “Hey, if we find the gold, maybe we could split it with Giancarlo, if he’s still your boyfriend.”

“He’d like that,” Luc said, as he stepped inside the room. I picked up the device from where Luc had set it down. It was heavy, but I was able to swing it and connect with the back of Luc’s head with a sickening crunch. He fell to the floor.

Giancarlo had been my boyfriend.

Nasty when old friends have a falling-out like that, isn’t it? (I feel like the Crypt Keeper!) Next week something just as fun!

Till then, take care! —–jeff
