Rainbow Snippets February 18-19

Another Saturday! How are you? I’m nursing a cold I picked up from–wait for it–the hospital, where I went for an appointment on Thursday. Ugh.

Anyhoooo, here’s a snippet from “Deliver Me”, part of the “Satisfaction Guaranteed” Anthology published by Less Than Three Press. Daniel delivers pizza part time in the evenings to help pay bills while working on his Master’s degree. His boss is a major douche bag, and Daniel has finally had enough.

“Manny! The fuck, dude. There’s no way I’m going to deliver this on time. You know that! If you want to fire me,
why don’t you just do it, okay? This crappy shit ends right now. What do you have against me, anyway?”

“Okay, Danny boy, your faggot ass is fired!” Manny yelled at me. “And you owe me for the pizzas that are
gonna be delivered for free.” The place went silent.

Everyone was staring at us, customers and workers alike. I took a deep breath, put the order down on the
nearby counter top and took out my wallet. I removed a twenty dollar bill and handed it over, then picked up the
pizzas and addressed Manny.

“You know, I always wondered why you picked on me. Then I remembered the first week when you tried to get
into my pants. God knows I tried to forget it. What, you couldn’t take the rejection? Takes one faggot to know one,
dude. Next time you try to get your little pencil dick in someone’s ass, try a shower first, huh? Maybe a breath
mint, too? I almost passed out from the fumes. Have a nice life.” I walked out, not looking back, though I heard some
snickers behind me.

Try to live that one down, you little peckerwood.
