edit data

Raised in Kaneohe, Hawaii, Dawn Akemi is hapa haole. Though she’s lived on the mainland since college, her kama’aina upbringing has never left her. She’s studied writing throughout her life in both university and workshops. Her storytelling skills were honed by over a dozen years as a Hollywood actor. Her blog was awarded “Freshly Pressed” by Wordpress.

Stories inspired by her life are blogged at www.DawnAkemi.com ...more

Modern Myth: King Midas

“I want everything I touch to turn to gold,” King Midas told the satyr.

The old story got one thing wrong.

King Midas lived to regret his wish. The modern Midas does not.

He calls it progress. He calls it efficiency. He calls it innovation. He calls it winning.

With every touch, his kingdom becomes richer on paper. Forests become assets. Rivers become commodities. Schools and prisons become investment
