I came across the end of a rainbow last week. It looked a lot grubbier than I would have expected

Was it Glomer, from the Punky Brewster 80's cartoon? Poor Glomer, left behind, can't find his cool magic town.

Er -- nope, never saw that, sorry. He's not really a specific person, just a distillation of that sense of loss.

I knew it wasn't Glomer, but it might have been a little bit funny if you were familiar with the reference.

It was a nice little piece of fiction you wrote, you're really good at those!

[mut]

Thanks! I should really try to write more than five sentences a year...

This is greatly overanalyzing a four-line story, but there's something interesting about the perspective here. The protagonist is entirely passive (they didn't even find the end of the rainbow, they came across it), but we're firmly in their perspective. The story is entirely the leprechaun's.

I like.

You should totally overanalyse it! (And yeah, perspective was deliberate.)
