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 story started out with the prompt pic of an old barn just outside town and my idea for a conversation between two guys planning to “make out” inside. Somehow the idea didn’t work as a story until I remembered the 1913 date on the front of the barn. Then the story wrote itself.

And I also suddenly had the title: “Over There.” https://authorjeffbaker.com/2025/07/11/over-there-friday-flash-fics-from-jeff-baker-july-11-2025/

“There’s places in that barn in the corners, in the shadows, in the loft…if you want.” George said.

Henry looked at George. His eyes glancing over every fold of his clothing; the checked shirt, the way the dull buttons on his overalls still reflected light.

“If we get caught…” Henry said.

“We won’t.” George said. “This barn is on my land. Nobody will be coming here at this time of day.”

“Maybe we shouldn’t.” Henry said.

“Why not?” George said. “We may not get another chance…”

Not much need for a wrap-up this time around. Thanks for reading!—-jeff
