I’ve been writing a disjointed story/treatment for a novel/short story – in the form of responses to the perfect and fantabulous prompt – 100 word song – hosted by my most crazy musical brother in arms Lance from My Blog Can Beat Up Your Blog. The only rule? Your post must be 100 words. You think it’s easy, huh? I dare you to try it. 100. Not 93. Actually, I don’t dare you – I invite you.

We have been following the story of CiCi; after being summoned to New Orleans by an attorney, she discovers that she has an Aunt Lu she never knew, and this aunt has left her all of her worldly possessions. As she follows the trail of lovingly worn old photos, perfectly preserved letters and a sweet old man named Beaufort, she discovers that Lu is actually her mother and her grandfather wished she never existed. It sounds like a soap opera, I know. But it really is so much more. For part one read here. And for our last installment, read here.

This week’s 100 word song was inspired by Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots by The Flaming Lips.
I confess that I choose the song this week – it has been in my head like an anthem. I didn’t know I would get to pick, or as I racked my brain trying to choose a song, that this is what I would pick. But when I couldn’t get it out of my head, I just threw it out there. Lance said yes, and apparently CiCi needed it too.
