Subject Matter
Genres: superhero
Character(s): Justice Society of America [The Flash [Jay Garrick]; Green Lantern [Alan Scott]; Hawkman [Carter Hall]; Dr. Mid-Nite [Dr. Charles McNider]; Wonder Woman [Diana Prince]; The Atom [Al Pratt]; Johnny Thunder]; Black Canary [Dinah Drake]; Sally Barnes (stenographer); Mary (Sally's friend, turned into a Blue-Bottle Fly); Jessica (Sally's cat); Mr. Murgatroyd (Sally's boss); Mrs. Doober (Sally's landlady); U.S. Senator Bentley (Sally's defense attorney); unnamed prosecuting attorney; unnamed judge; Rapunzel (introduction); The Wise Woman (introduction); The Lorelei (villain, introduction); The Slicer (villain, introduction); Rumpelstiltskin (villain, introduction); Gallifron (villain, a two-headed ogre, introduction); Man Unicorn (villain, introduction)
Synopsis: Sally Barnes dreams that she has been given the "Voice of the Lorelei" and her wishes comes true. Labeled a witch, she is tried and convicted, and is sentenced to death. Sally's attorney calls in the JSA and they question her (a prisoner named Slicer overhears), and she tells of a dream in which a dwarf gives her this "voice". Convinced of her innocence, the JSA asks the judge for 24 hours to prove her innocence. The JSA discovers the entrance to Fairyland, as does Slicer, meets Rapunzel, battles an ogre, and then is turned to stone by The Lorelei, but a Wise Woman breaks the spell.

Disclose Notes: The premise of the story is that, once every 1000 years, the Earth and Fairyland (a world in another dimension) coincide, allowing passage from one world to the other. But it lasts only for a 24-hour period and anyone not back into their proper world when the worlds part are destroyed (if Fairyland inhabitants are in the Earth realm) or trapped forever under the spell of the Lorelei (if Earth inhabitants are in the Fairyland realm).
