Welcome to #RainbowSnippets! Every Saturday, six sentences of GLBT fiction is shared and posted. It can be your own. It can be someone else’s. It can have another genre, as well. It just needs to be GLBT.
My own comes from my July Camp NaNoWriMo project; an expanded version of ‘On the Other Side of the Mask’. Here it is…
Danger was approaching. It was getting closer with every step, as the wardens dragged Byron and himself to a heavy, old fashioned wooded door, trimmed with iron.
The door opened. The danger was revealed. It hid itself behind a smiling, pleasant human face, which beamed with fatherly tolerance at Byron and Shelley.
Shelley couldn’t help himself. He shrank back.
Oh, that is really creepy. “Beamed with fatherly tolerance” combined with the word “danger” is terrifying.

Lord Ruthvyn does creepy very well. Although I’m finding there’s more to him as I explore his character.
