ALL SHE EVER WANTED (LitBits #6)

       All she had wanted was to make Mom and Dad happy. It had been her passion. They had heard her sing Karaoke and deemed her talent formidable enough. They had insisted that she be a star – that she deserved it. If that will make them happy, she had thought. She had worried for her parents. They had contracted a team of harmelodic Sisyphi to mold the girl, to craft her sound, with money they did not possess – a lot of money, their dutiful daughter thought, for a housepainter and substitute teacher. Her parents had not prepared her for the embarrassment, the pandemical scorn. She had not prepared herself for the unimaginable. I did what they wanted, she wondered. I only wanted to make them happy. What did इ do so wrong?
