Read the excerpt from “Two Kinds.”

But my mother’s expression was what devastated me: a quiet, blank look that said she had lost everything.

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 pagel" 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.
