A Magical Journey: Beats
The first hint that something was very, very wrong was the sky, shimmering purple and green. The second hint was the ethereal music coming from no discernable source, with a rhythm just out of sync enough that one could never quite determine the beat.

Testing the Limits
Everyone knew the stories about the Lake of the Drowned. Travellers stopping to refresh themselves with a picturesque view, then vanishing to never be seen again. Strong swimmers, young... natural causes were getting harder to use as an explanation.

Harry Potter and the State of the Fandom
Contradictory Truths can exist simultaneously. It's true that the Harry Potter books had a great deal of influence on the Millennial and Gen Z generations, shaping and inspiring them on issues like social justice, entrenched inequality, and institutional corruption. It's true that JK Rowling was possibly the first person to go from a billionaire to a millionaire due to the amount donated to Charity. It's true that Luminos, her main charity, has done great things for literacy in underprivileged children.

Neuro-Spicy. Top Story - April 2023.
*Neuro-Spicy, for those unaware, is a term coined when searching for an alternative to the "Functioning" labels, where someone compared the degree to which a person was affected by Autism, ADHD or other conditions to the spice-level warnings on a menu. I'm usually about a 2-chilli, in that there's a noticiable effect on my daily life but it's usually under control. In situations like the one described in this story, I can drop to a 3- or 4-chilli rating, where I can't talk and recovery time is needed. 5-chilli rated moments - where you're crying and screaming for a milk jug/Autistic Burnout or Meltdown - are rare, but they happen.

The Right To Refuse
As the ground fell away beneath us, I started to relax, leaving my worries back down on earth, where they belonged. We - my conference-bound co-workers and I - had made it through the airport with a minimum of drama or delays. I found it worth mentioning, because that was rarely the case, given who we were travelling with. Lila was seemingly allergic to things like forward planning, and had never met an inconvenience too small to raise a stink over. Because she was the CEO’s niece and the daughter of the company's biggest investor, her problems were made into our problems, even when we wanted nothing to do with them.
