The Boy with the Paper Crown A little boy stands in front of a mirror wearing a paper crown. He has built himself a throne out of couch cushions. A towel hangs from his shoulders like a royal robe. He points at his reflection and declares, with all the force his small lungs can summon, "I am king." For a few moments, he believes it. Then the crown ...

One Inch from Disaster A child runs through the living room, trips, and misses the corner of the coffee table by an inch. A driver glances at his phone for half a second, looks up, and the truck that could have crushed him has already passed. A rock shoots out from a lawn mower, but not toward your face. A storm turns, just enough. Most people call...
