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

I don’t post as many snippets as I used to (again, I’m lazy!) but I have to celebrate my 9^th (!!!!) anniversary of posting near-weekly stories on my blog in conjunction with the Friday Flash Fics Facebook page. For my 9^th Anniversary story, I wrote this sweet little romance: “From Here To Eternity Or Thereabouts.” https://authorjeffbaker.com/2025/05/23/from-here-to-eternity-or-nine-years-at-least-friday-flash-fics-from-jeff-baker-may-23-2025/ In snippet one, Geoff finds his teen-age son rummaging through a box of photographs in a back room that’s almost as cluttered as mine:

“You know, I thought you’d have these digitized by now,” Scott said

“Most of them we have,” Geoff said. “But we keep the originals and the negatives.”

“What’s ‘negatives?’” Scott asked innocently.

“Um, that’s when you…” Geoff started to say.

“I know what negatives are!” Scott laughed.

“Good.” Geoff said. “Glad someone’s keeping the ancient knowledge alive.”

Here’s snippet two:

Geoff smiled to himself. He and Jer had the picture of them standing side by side grinning from their wedding framed and hanging next to a picture of the three of them with Scott after they’d adopted him. The wedding had been, what? Ten years ago? And they’d had Scott for six years. And in another year he’d be off to college.

Next week, we’ll take a ride into the sky with another anniversary story!

Until then, take care! —–jeff
