NOV Fifteenth twentytwentyfive

Every Week at Rainbow Snippets https://www.facebook.com/groups/963484217054974 participants post six lines of a work of theirs, a work-in-progress or a work by someone else that has LGBT characters. We head to a slightly different version of San Francisco and meet two drag queens in my story “To Emperor Norton, Thanks For Everything! Love, Georgianna.” https://authorjeffbaker.com/2025/11/05/to-emperor-norton-thanks-for-everything-flash-fiction-draw-challenge-story-from-mike-mayak-november-5-2025/

Georgianna Mount Sutro shook the blonde wig she was holding at arms length as if she was afraid something would fall on her gold sequined dress. She considered tossing it in the street as the trolley rolled up the hill in the early-morning fog.

“It’s moldy, Honey, that’s the problem,” said Miss Windy Weather. Miss Windy was sitting beside her in an outfit festooned with veils which were in danger of blowing away.

“Ugh!” Georgianna said. “Perfect for Halloween if that wasn’t months away.”

“Girl, for us every night is Halloween.” Miss Windy said.

“Too bad we don’t get treats,” Georgianna said and they both laughed.

Okay, a few more than six lines, but it’s a dystopia! Oh and look up “Emperor Norton,” he was a real person! I’ll be back with something special soon! —–jeff
