100 Word Song – Feeling Good
Head hanging down, soul wracked by the weight of this knowledge. "Who am I?!" She screamed to an empty room. Silent tears poured down CiCi's face as she stared at a picture of this woman; her mother. Skin glowing, laughing eyes, she clearly loved the person behind the camera. This was the missing piece. Lu … Continue reading 100 Word Song – Feeling Good

100 Word Song – Ho Hey
CiCi's world began to spin. This didn't fit. This wasn't what she was told. She began to tear frantically through the photos - one after another, happy family; Mom, Dad, Baby Girl. Mom, Dad, Baby Girl. Folded in half at the end of the album was a letter. Worn, creased, discolored. Lu, I love you. … Continue reading 100 Word Song – Ho Hey

This is the Story of Billy Joe and Bobby Sue
My sister and I don't use the word "Aunt" in our family, we prefer "Queenie." When our kids were born, (well my kid, 'cause my sister was "waiting"), we were trying to decide what our son should call her. "Aunt" just seemed so meaningless to us - it seemed every friend wound up being … Continue reading This is the Story of Billy Joe and Bobby Sue
100 Word Song – Lucretia MacEvil
She sat on the floor, sweat dripping down her back. She hadn't even known her aunt Lu existed until the lawyer called about the will. This dingy little apartment looked like it might have been homey. She sunk into a reverie about what life would have been like in the French Quarter 40 years ago, … Continue reading 100 Word Song – Lucretia MacEvil
100 Word Song – Free Energy
Sinking into the sofa, I plead, "Kipliegh, I'm exhausted. Please? I know I promised. Seriously, what is it with you and these starving musicians?" She's primping, not listening. We both know she's already won. "JEN!" She screams, what she thinks that will accomplish, I cannot tell. "Come on! Remember Drake? He'll be there." I remember. … Continue reading 100 Word Song – Free Energy
