July 16 – 1130 EDT – Kennesaw, Georgia

Elaine tossed her high school annual onto the stack of books she was not taking with her to college. She did not intend to remember any of the people she had spent four years avoiding. The jests and insults in gym and in the halls had never stopped. Her mother, who should have helped her deal with the situation, had told her that everything would be fine once she was on campus at Georgia Tech. Elaine never really wanted to go to Georgia Tech. She wanted to write. She wanted to be creative some other way. She didn’t want to surrender and become the clone of her mother the engineer. Elaine looked at the stacks again. Neither of them really mattered as she walked down the gray path to her corporate prison; they both represented some level of surrender to her mother’s master plan.

She had applied to MIT as a threat. She had never expected them to accept her, and the acceptance letter she had left on the kitchen table for a week had really tweaked her mother. She had immediately forbidden her to send in the completed application. Elaine hung it on the mirror in her room in protest as she contemplated her next move. Two days ago while staring at it and thinking over her situation the edges had burst into flame. She had barely been able to save the document, and she had cried for an hour from the shock of the event. She was still struggling to explain what had caused the fire. She hadn’t hung it back up because she couldn’t explain why it was charred, and her mother saw that as a victory in the career battle.

Her mother’s graduation-gift-peace-offering, a new Apple-Android Typhoon was on her nightstand charging. The newest tablet had set her mom back a bit, but it represented everything her mother wanted her to be. It irritated Elaine that she actually liked it and used it. Her mother had not ignored the fact that she had downloaded every novel her favorite author had ever written to it either. Attempting to out-manipulate her mother with her own tricks continued to fail, and nothing she did made her listen. She didn’t want to be an engineer, no matter what the tests said.

The temperature in the room suddenly dropped, and Elaine sighed loudly. To have to put on a sweater in the middle of the summer was ridiculous. She didn’t understand why her mother had started messing with the thermostat this week or what was wrong with the air conditioner.

She had to come up with a plan. If she didn’t figure out something, soon, she would be a freshman engineer on her way to becoming her mother. She felt a jolt at the back of her neck about that and swore sparks flashed around her head. She sat back and stared at the sleeve of the sweater. She could feel the anger about her situation pulsing in her head and looked up at herself in the mirror.
