Rainbow Snippets: Where to be of use?

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…

As the afternoon drew closer to the end, they returned to the forest, seeking a place far enough from the road where they’d be hidden from any traveller. The others busied themselves in pitching tents and building a base for their camp fire. It left little for him to do.

Dylan paced between two trees. His whole being vibrated, demanding he help with something. Anything. Yesterday, he had understood the hound’s insistence that he couldn’t have enough left in him to even light the campfire. He could’ve done the task, fire was easy, but had accepted the time to rest.

He felt even better, now. Not as rested as he should’ve been, but definitely strong enough to aid in setting up camp.

Convincing anyone to let him was a different matter. Where could he be of use when everyone else seemed content in winding down for the evening?

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