Rainbow Snippets: Seeking control…

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…

No sounds out of the ordinary reached him. Birds sang from the branches, unconcerned with their presence. A few fantailed varieties danced around them, peeping for them to keep moving and stir up more tiny morsels from the undergrowth. If he strained his hearing, he fancied there being a low hum in the distance.

Marin glanced over his shoulder, not acknowledging him until she was satisfied. Then, her sharp hazel gaze focused on him with the same intensity as a hawk. “How’s he holding up?”

“About as well as can be expected. He wants me to train him in bladed weapons.” He understood where the desire came from, the urge to regain control over something—anything—within his life.

Perhaps it would help.

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