This will probably be my last snippet for a couple of weeks. I’ll be on vacation in the Canadian maritimes with iffy internet and no time anyhow. It should be a great time.
I’ll be continuing with These Haunted Hills. I’ve skimmed over the fox hunting bit and now they’re back at Brendan’s cabin.
“There is something I probably should have mentioned before we trekked into the woods,” Joshua said as Brendan dug in a pocket for a key.
Brendan side eyed him. “Is it as bad as the possibility of possession by a ghost?”
“Worse. Ticks.”
Brendan shuddered. “Oh gross. Yeah, we should have thought of that.”
“We should use the bathroom mirror to check our backs for them. Tell me it’s not tiny.”
“It’s small but you can see most of your back.”
“Good because I thought it would be awkward if we had to check each other. Not that I’d overly mind but I should probably know you more than a day before I start getting naked and say check my ass for ticks.” Josh felt the fire of a blush swamp him.
Brendan choked. “That would be awkward yes.”
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!

There’s actually a country song about “I want to pick the ticks off of you.”

Really? I’ve never seen a tick and don’t know what kind of check is necessary to find them, but… he didn’t sound as if he’d mind. 🙂

You have to do a full body check to see if they’ve embedded in your skin

Funny, until I remember how bad the ticks are around here this year. They’re ridiculous.

Maybe they should check each other just to be safe 😉
