I like reading the angstier things with a flat affect, but I tried to inject a little "more" in the second reading, probably not super successfully.

Usually with a text, there's One Reading that comes to me, and afterwards I have a hard time doing variations (that's why I don't think of myself as a voice performer. I'm just a person who's not too bad at Reading Out Loud. :>)

Hope someone enjoys those. :)

[Sorry for the thrice-repeated release, but the .aiff file, although uploaded, failed to appear, so I eventually turned to an mp3 and wished very hard on every possible rainbow.]
