Crushed Mirror Powder

Amelia Brown

Submitted to Contest #307

I should quit the stupid Potion Masters Institute, with its godawful elixir recipes and that ornate, bloated legacy of snobby alumni who think they're Siam’s gift to the brewing world.

She adored this realm with all its soft pink tapestries and cotton-candy kittens. A ridiculous realm by most standards, but here, logic bent just enough to let her breathe.

Submitted to Contest #306

Introducing the newest innovation in technology after years of research and no peer reviews. Finally, a chair for her. The SheSits™. Why did we design this? Because apparently, regular chairs were too masculine, and women have suffered in silence long enough. After centuries and centuries of women sitting in chairs designed for men, the SheSits™ dares to ask: “What if a chair... had feelings?” Designed by a team of all-male engineers in a windowless office that smells like sweat, cologne and ego, the SheSits™ is the first chair that acknowle...
