Super Charge

Go yellow and fly? Say no more! I scoured the shelves until I found our Chaos Emerald stand-ins: a cluster of faceted glass marble paperweights and a brass key ring resting on the credenza. I lined up the cut-glass gems in a tight ring, slid the brass hoop right into the center, and hopped on. Tapping the warm brass with both sneakers, I tilted the nearby goose-neck desk lamp until its golden bulb shone straight through the crystal facets. Amber light exploded across the dark wood, reflecting gold all over my gloves! I threw both arms back in a mid-air leap right off the glowing ring. Power surge achieved—no wings needed to soar!
