Rainbow Snippets – November 25 to 26
Hi, everyone! Gosh, it’s been a long week. I hope you had a wonderful time with family, though. 🙂
Back to Derrick’s story, Truck Me How I Like It, below. Finally, the truck has been unloaded, avoiding bloodshed, barely! A little longer than six sentences, once again, for context.

I got into the cab and rolled the window down. “Thanks again, sir.”
“Anytime,” he replied, and smiled, a toothy grin that did something funny to my insides, for some reason. “You know, you can call me Paul, Derrick.”
“I might just do that in the future, Mr. Fontana. See you next time,” I said, ignoring his mild flirtation as I started the engine.
Paul stepped back and I watched him in my side view mirrors as I pulled out of the lot, his shoulder-length, salt-and-pepper hair blowing in the light breeze.
Huh, who would have thought…

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.

It’s the weekend! Woot!
Continuing from last week with Derrick’s story, Truck Me How I Like It, below. A little longer than six sentences, for context.

Fontana stopped when he saw me and sighed. “Please tell me there isn’t blood on the pavement,” he said, his silvery gray eyes wary as he waited on my response.
“No, sir, Mr. Fontana,” I said. “But … can you do something? I gotta get going.” I tried to keep the frustration in my voice to a minimum, but it was difficult.
The manager shook his head. “Shit.” He placed the stack of papers in his hands on a nearby desk and walked back the way I’d come in. “Let’s go.”

Rainbow Snippets – November 4 to 5
Hello, my dears!
It’s going to be in the 70s this weekend. Seriously??
More from Derrick’s story, Truck Me How I Like It, below. Derrick is becoming angrier by the second.

Another fifteen minutes passed, and the fat fuck on a power trip was still only halfway through unloading the pallets from the flatbed. I sent a quick text to Adrian about the situation, then decided that enough was enough. If the guy didn’t hurry up, I’d miss my last drop of the day because the business would close soon.
I got out of the truck, locked the cab and made my way to the management office, ignoring the smirk on the slob’s face as I passed him. Jesus, did he even shower? I could smell him from fifty feet away.
Just my luck, the manager who’d intercepted my altercation in the past with the slow-ass dude outside was coming out of a back room.
