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.

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.)
