As the man dismisses the apparition as a trick of the mind, he reaches out to touch it—only to find the house suddenly normal, and himself changed in ways he can’t comprehend. The woman’s scream cuts through the silence as she realizes the horrifying truth: he’s no longer alive, and the house has claimed him.
In "The Dragon's Roar!", a communist general enforces his brutal rule by turning a festive New Year celebration into a deadly trap, deploying a dragon-shaped float armed with machine guns to massacre defiant villagers. When the float reaches the parade’s center, a real dragon emerges—mistaken by the soldiers for another weapon—unleashing chaos and destruction upon the oppressors while sparing the people below.
In "The Blank!", a man from the future travels back to the past to stop a scientist from conducting a dangerous experiment—one that could permanently sterilize the soil. With time running out and the stakes higher than he ever imagined, he must confront the man whose work could change everything.
In "What the Mirror Revealed!", a man uses his invention—a time mirror that shows past events—to manipulate a young woman’s feelings. He pretends to be selfish, hoping she’ll confess her love to the selfless, struggling man he’s challenged to look into the mirror.
In "They Can't Resist!", a man blinded in a past accident becomes an unlikely guardian when an alien from Ganymede entrusts him with a mysterious disk, hoping his curiosity will trigger a deadly gas release. But with no sight to tempt him, the man makes a simple, decisive choice—tossing the object into a river, unaware of the cosmic stakes he’s just averted.
In "Fear Follows Fenton!", a fugitive thought to have vanished into the shadows finds himself haunted by the relentless presence of a detective who’s been trapped in a coma—yet somehow still chasing him. When the fugitive finally turns himself in, the police chief is stunned to learn the detective has just awakened, as if the case had never truly ended.
