Rainbow Snippets: A rumble from the tower…

Rainbow Snippets is a Facebook group for LGBTQ+ authors, readers, and bloggers to gather once a week and share six sentences from a work of fiction–a WIP or a finished work or even a 6-sentence book recommendation.

Being a sequel, In Love and Death is set directly after In Pain and Blood. Some snippets will contain spoilers of those events.

Following on from last week’s snippet…

Dylan gathered his things and readied himself for their journey whilst everyone else moved through their tasks shrouded in awkward silence. Not even Authril insisted he do anything whilst the tents were swiftly dismantled and stowed, the fire doused and buried to ensure nothing whipped up an ember. Food was either shoved into packs or people’s mouths.

By the time they were done, their mark on this little section of the forest was barely noticeable. Dylan couldn’t understand why the rest were being so thorough, they hadn’t on their northward journey.

They forged their way back through the undergrowth, reaching the road the same time a deafening rumble rolled across the ground. The source unmistakably coming from the direction of the tower.

I’ll be back with more from In Love and Death next weekend. In the meantime, check out these other snippets.
