It takes some patting around on the floor to find the pieces of your flashlight.
You crouch next to a glow-line to illuminate it. The glow pulls you forward; the broken flashlight anchors you.
With some swearing & some duct tape from your EDC pack, you get the thing working.
Then you shine it over the room and gulp.
When you grabbed the wall to stop yourself - that was a skeleton you grabbed.
A ½-meter ahead is a deep pit.
Even the floor carvings look ominous.

@InvaderXan About 20 years ago, I got out of the elevator on my way to work and realized it was pouring rain outside. A man I'd never met before said "Oh, you take the bus to work, don't you?" and gave me his umbrella.
I tried to refuse and he said, "It's fine, I've got more, and I just have to get to my car."
So I thanked him and accepted.
I still have that umbrella.

I should add one of my own...
One time I was just walking home from the city, when there was a sudden huge rainstorm. I had an umbrella, so I managed to stay mostly dry. Then I saw a girl, standing at a crossing waiting for the lights to change. She was absolutely soaked and looked really miserable. So I gave her my umbrella. I was wearing a coat with a hood, so I was ok without it.
I'm fairly sure I've never once seen her again, but I hope she's having a good day, wherever she is now.

The web that raised me was a digital playground in the truest sense. It was made up of HTML experiments frankensteined together by people still figuring it all out.
The beauty of not completely knowing what you’re doing is a lack of premature judgement. Without a standard to rise to, you’re free to go sideways. Explore. Try things that don’t work, without any expectation they _will_ work. An open world with a beginner’s mindset.

If Mieve had not already seen his healing power, she'd have been horrified at the way he passed out, bloog bubbling out of his mouth.

Media Consumption -- you are what you eat
On media diets, media awareness, and why being hyperaware of media representation isn't necessarily a bad thing.

So we went out to the Big Box Store on our every-two-months cheese-and-cereal (etc) run.
That's like a 2 hour trip, including stopping for takeout on the way back.
Get home.

Okay #Scrivener question.
In #MSWord, I can do a find-replace to replace all <i>text</i>, for example, with italicized text without the html markers.
Can I do that in Scrivener?
