ead the passage from "Two Kinds.”

"You want me to be something that I’m not!” I sobbed. "I’ll never be the kind of daughter you want me to be!”

"Only two kinds of daughters,” she shouted in Chinese. "Those who are obedient and those who follow their own mind! Only one kind of daughter can live in this house. Obedient daughter!”

"Then I wish I weren’t your daughter. I wish you weren’t my mother,” I shouted. As I said these things I got scared. It felt like worms and toads and slimy things crawling out of my chest, but it also felt good, as if this awful side of me had surfaced, at last.

"Too late change this,” said my mother shrilly.

And I could sense her anger rising to its breaking point. I wanted see it spill over. And that’s when I remembered the babies she had lost in China, the ones we never talked about. "Then I wish I’d never been born!” I shouted. "I wish I were dead! Like them.”

Pandora's Post
by B. K. McSwain

Lillian couldn't believe how out of hand everything had become after her innocuous post; it was only supposed to entertain her friends. After all, Skye was an incredible singer/songwriter, and Lillian only wanted her friends to know, but now, Skye was not talking to her, and she was in danger of losing her new best friend. It all started three weeks ago when Lillian was at Skye's house and Skye mentioned she played the guitar.
"How have we been friends for so long, and I never knew you played?" Lillian asked.
"Six months is not that long, but it does seem like we've known each other for years," Skye admitted, strumming the guitar. Then she began a melody that captivated Lillian and when she began singing, Lillian couldn't believe her friend was so talented. She fumbled with her phone until she had accessed the video camera and began recording the impromptu performance.
"This is so going up on my page!" Lillian announced and before Skye could protest, the song was posted to her social media page, and before Skye could insist she take it down, it had 15 "likes." Lillian convinced her friend to let it stay, and they would've forgotten all about it had it not gone viral.
Now, Skye was fielding calls from all over the country from music producers wanting her to record with them. The producer of a morning show had invited her to perform on live TV, and local news people were camped in her yard. Not only had Lillian not known about her friend's talent, but she had not known about her friend's modesty that bordered on diffidence, and this deplorable lack of self-confidence had caused Skye to become a hermit in her house trying to avoid the publicity.
Lillian sat wishing that she could simply inhale deeply and bring all vestiges of her friend's talent out from the Internet and back into her camera where it could live unknown for all of eternity.

Atop the gorge, a summer evening party was in full swing. Parents, children, friends. All ages. All together to enjoy the soft evening after summer’s midday sweltering heat.

Swirls of color swathed the sky; yellow to orange to red to purple dotted with the outlines of cumulous clouds clinging to the horizon. The vastness overwhelmed the crowd. The playful peals of children’s laughter faded in silent awe as the magical scene unfolded before them.
