In this short, funny, sci-fi tale, every human being on Earth suddenly receives a specific superpower. Everyone, that is, except Dale. But instead of moping around, Dale fools a world of superheroes into believing he was blessed with the power of making a perfect cappuccino. His business takes off beyond his wildest dreams—at least, until he meets Brenda, his personal supervillain, the only person on the planet with a perfect superpalate.

It takes some gumption to claim to be the best tea shop in the city of Kansar, where five ancient roads meet and everyone is selling something. But Yala’s shop has been in her family for three generations and is famed for its brews among warriors and wizards alike. When the Imperial Spell Company claims a monopoly on all magic in Kansar, Yala tries to convince a company henchman that her teas are nothing but ordinary leaves and water.

In this short tale for fans of Cinderella and Bridgerton, Pearl’s ball gown may carry the whiff of mothballs, but her dance card for the duke’s ball is full…until she loses a shoe. In her enthusiasm, Pearl’s foot slides out of her too-big damask slipper in the middle of a dance and gets kicked around the ballroom to the amusement of the sophisticated guests. What is a spirited but clumsy heroine to do? Can her composure and good humor save her social dignity?

Missing The Rest of The Story, Lacking An Ending
The Journey Begins by Kelly Duran
6m narrated by Stephanie Einstein
Genre: Short Story, Domestic Fiction, Travel
Featuring: RV, Septuagenarian, Dog
Rating as a movie: PG
My rating: 🚙⭐️⭐️⭐️
My thoughts: I knew this was unlikely to be amazing but I have been amazed by short stories before. In the first minute, you discover it's about a 73-year-old in an RV with her dog and I knew then it was unlikely to be amazing. Sure enough, although the story isn't bad it leaves you wanting. It doesn't read like a short story, it reads like the opening of a novel and you're wondering what happened to the next chapter.
Recommend to others: IDK. Only if you like cliffhangers
