Rainbow Snippets: Few options. Lot of questions

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 a suspicious Dylan…

There were few options. Given how many dead Talfaltaners had littered the tower grounds, he doubted they had taken the time to drag a few out into the forest. They could’ve been those critically wounded who had then passed away, but the placement seemed odd.

That left them being some poor souls who’d the misfortune of being in the wrong place.

It still left other questions. He might not be as worldly as the others, but he knew anyone claiming to be a merchant also had a wagon or two. And those he had encountered on their journey were always armed, be that themselves or their guards. They would’ve fought. And lost against insurmountable odds. Had they fled into the undergrowth, hoping to evade those who meant mortal harm? It clearly hadn’t worked, but it did suggest an explanation for the placement of the bodies.

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