Welcome to Life Lab Notes, where we review and compare our notes about Life, what we have in common, what makes humans tick, and how we can keep from blowing up the lab. Featuring the talents of brilliantly fun and inspiring writers and actors, we explore the heartwarming and heartbreaking, compelling and silly, with sketch comedy, personal stories, and original music. 

May 16, 2019

I don't remember where I got the idea that May 16th was National Flash Fiction Day. Maybe I dreamt it. However it entered my brain, I definitely consciously entered it into my calendar, and dutifully reminded myself a few days ago, "I'd better get a very short story ready to post!"

May 16th is not National Flash Fiction Day. That'll be in June 15th in the U.K. and the 22nd in New Zealand. I don't know if we even have one in the U.S.

But May 16th is International Global Accessibility Awareness Day. For a compelling and vital look at this issue, visit them at www.globalaccessibilityawarenessday.org

Whether or not you are a web developer, or a public building owner or manager, or a person who might inadvertently leave a scooter in the middle of a sidewalk, you are a person connected to all the other people.

Awareness is a very good thing. It builds strong empathy bones!

Oh, yeah. And the flash fiction! It's 368 words. It was written before I realized our official Life Lab calendar was inaccurate, so it has nothing to do with accessibility. (I think.)
