Note: Borderline speculative. It isn't clear whether Glory is cursed or simply has a personality totally unsuited to the world around her.
First published in Harper's, March 2013.
Synopsis: At her birth, Glory's grandfather saw a mark of misfortune on her. Sure enough, she had a knack for making decisions that turned out wrong, and by her thirtieth birthday she had comprehensively failed to live up to her parents' expectations. Could she change her life by thinking about her grandfather's saying, "If you can't please the gods, trick them"?
