If you'd like to play along, Rainbow Snippets is a Facebook community where we post up 6 sentences of one of our LGBT stories every Saturday. It's been fun and you can find it here. Be sure to check out all the offers! It's been a great supportive group!


I'm hanging with Behind Blue Eyes (thanks for those who seemed to like the title). Aneurin has been forced to take Kaleo to a party. I wanted to show where one of the Toymakers tries to reclaim Kaleo because he's obviously hasn't had his will broken and isn't subservient enough but honestly, couldn't find a passage that made much sense in just 6 (or 7 or 8) sentences. But did find this. Verlio is the Toymaker and this bit introduces the other subplot's danger. (Note: the inducer Verlio is taking about is an implanted pain inducer used to control the Toys) And yes, it does have one extra sentence because I can't finish a thought in six apparently.



“I do hope the embarrassing way your Toy carries himself has nothing to do with the reason you didn't stay long,” Verlio said, fishing a wand out of his pocket. “My controller can synch with any of the inducers. I can bring him to heel.”

“Don't you dare.” Aneurin caught the man's wrist, spinning him away. As they moved, he heard a high pitched whine, and fire lanced across his forearm. Verlio shrieked, his hand disintegrating.

Another laser blast hit right next to where Aneurin had been standing but Kaleo yanked him away, dragging him around the corner of a serving counter laden with drink and food.

Goodness! I wonder how safe a serving counter might be from a laser blast? I think Aneurin and Kaleo are in trouble! o_0

Not much safety offered there to be honest. Indeed they are in trouble.

Remind me not to party with them! Great snippet, but now I need to know what is going on!

They are not safe to be around, that's for sure. Thanks

Yikes! I don't think I like the sound of a hand disintegrating. I'm with the others--this doesn't sound like a safe kind of party!

Safe not a bit but the guy who lost a hand had worse in mind for Kaleo so he's not complaining

Exciting few lines. I like that Aneurin and Kaleo are each watching out for the other in their own way.
