Wow, end of the year already. It seems somehow impossible and at the same time incredibly crappy. The political nightmare aside, this has been a terrible year personally. I am, however, very grateful for this community. Your support means a lot and here’s to a new, creative and supportive new year for us all!
I’m sticking with These Haunted Hills this week. They’ve spent the drive to the haunted murder hotel being geeky and now we’re back to work.
“We’re going to have to go off road for this,” Joshua said, as he turned his truck onto a rutted path leading back into the woods.
“Is this safe?” Brendan suddenly rethought every step that brought him to this point. He was going to drive into the wilderness with a man he’d only met the day before. What if he was about to be the next ghost haunting this woods? Freaking author imagination! Like I have any reason to worry. He shook his head, aware how instantly his suicidal thoughts turned to survival in the face of imagined danger.
And here’s the song from last week’s snippet.
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!

Loved this snippet 🙂 It made me think of yelling at the tv screen during a horror move: “Don’t go into the woods, you idiot!”

Ahahahhaha I had that in mind in writing this (and if you saw how deep in the woods, this area is you’d be screaming it louder.)

Thanks. I would probably be uneasy going into this situation with a stranger, then again I’ve gone halfway across the world to meet a one on one guide so….

Funny how it’s always ‘why did I do this?’ once it’s done…

Thanks. I think Brendan is happy about that too since he’s in such a dark spot.

He’s got an over-active imagination like mine! I’m curious to see if they find any ghosts.
