Rusted Rainbows {Pride Month 2022 #8}
The laser brushed away the dirt with ease. A bone buried within. “Looks like an old graveyard” Cabi called to their instructor. “Let me take a look at that” Locke the instructor replied, making zir way over.
Locke pointed zir brush at the rest of the dirt revealing the dusty yellow bone beneath. It was a person. Pieces of fabric stuck out of its bones where clothes once laid. Nothing but bone, cloth, and a small faded metal badge. “Pass me the de-rustifier” Locke gestured zir hand to Cabi. “You know it’s called a rubigir?” They said making their way over. “I know but that’s a blubbersome name. Just call it what it is” Cabi handed over the de-rustifier and Locke pointed it at the metal which instantly began shining in all its rainbow glory.
Pride flooded both archeologist’s eyes as they realised who they had discovered. They both held hands as they looked up to the glitter speckled dome in the distance. “Without you we wouldn’t have our home.” Locke whispered to the skeleton “thank you.” Before the pair left they laid a rainbow cloth over the body.
