Rainbow Snippets – November 18 to 19

Hi, everyone! Wishing you well on this lovely weekend!

Per Charli’s request for snippets with a trans character, I am taking a break from my posts on Derrick  in Truck Me How I Like It to post a snippet from Paint it, Black, published by JMS Books.

Trent is in the first person. He and Florina are having a conversation at the customer service desk where they work. Longer than six sentences for context. Trent speaks first.

“I have to be here early tomorrow since Nigel’s sick.”

“Again? Either he’s slumming or he really needs to see a doctor,” Florina replied as she handed the money and receipt to the impatient-looking older gentleman at the counter. “Thank you, sir. Have a nice day.”

The man didn’t say anything in response. He simply zeroed in on Florina’s Adam’s apple, then took in her mascara and perfect lipstick and scowled before walking away. I held in a retort while she helped the next customer.

People were so judgmental about things they didn’t understand.
