Rainbow Snippets*-- Autumn

The weather forecast says we're going to have a warm weekend and then it's definitely slipping into Fall temperatures. The cool weather is nice, I admit, but the long-range forecast is predicting colder than normal temperatures for us for October. I could do without that!

Still snipping from When Silverfish Dance --Part 3 of 4 (read part 1 here and part 2 here.)  Barry is reflecting on the man he met the night before at a club. He'd slipped him his phone number and was surprised when the man actually called. This is his thoughts after he hangs up. I also should note, the story takes place in 1973. (This is from the first draft, so please pardon any rough spots or typos!)

Too bad he didn’t offer his name.

Barry laughed at himself again as he ran his hand over his half-hard dick and stretched his legs. He had no delusions about the guy calling again. He obviously wasn't the type to pick up drag-queens. Technically, Barry wasn’t a drag queen, but Mister Fantastic couldn’t know that from their brief encounter. He only wore dresses when he was working at certain clubs and conventions, not as a way to express his inner-self. He wasn’t even particularly fond of women’s clothing. Dresses were nice on hot days, but the bras pinched and the seam of the hose cut into his balls. He was sore for days after his ‘girl’ nights. Maybe he should give thought to a garter belt and silk stockings.

Tune in next week for part 4!

Blurb:

Whether it’s fate or coincidence, banker Morgan Davis and hairdresser-- and sometimes con-man-- Barry Hunt's lives have become intertwined. An unexpected act of violence finds them planning revenge and thrusts them into a strange whirlwind of adventure and heartbreak. When Silverfish Dance is the story of two men in 1973 Chicago with absolutely nothing in common, but who are thrown together on a journey that moves them from being acquaintances to allies to lovers and, ultimately, to friends.
