Ice Age ~ 100 Word Challenge ~ My Blog Can Beat Up Your Blog
If you've got a pen in need of inspiring ink...muscle up and visit Lance for his 100 Word Challenge. He's rocking some Radiohead this week, compliments of last week's victor, Lisa. Here's my 100 words...let your imagination take them where you will!

January. Coldest
on record. Ice blocks our view from the
grimy window of our downtown apartment. I could scratch my name, but my fingers
are numb from the temperature.
“You told me this time was going to be different. You
promised.”
He doesn’t look at me. He can’t. No job means no money means no heat. Just
that simple.
“You said you had gigs lined up for months.”
Still nothing. Silence. Just the rat-a-tat-tat of the
drum stick he cradles, bouncing on snare.
I turn back to the window, and slowly start scraping
S.O.S into the frost, burrowing under blanket.

Q: "What do you call five musicians standing in a row?"

Not so funny, if you're a musician.
