In "Spacious Rooms for Rent," con man Boyce Haskell’s sudden windfall from the Old Gypsy sets off a chain of increasingly desperate schemes, from shady real estate deals to a doomed partnership with his friend Bill. When the consequences catch up with him—Bill jailed, his wife furious—Boyce flees onto an empty subway train, only to witness his fortune literally taking flight, soaring above the Earth in a moment that defies reason. Written by Joe Gill and illustrated by Pat Masulli, with a striking cover by Steve Ditko, this surreal tale from Astounding Stories #37 blends noir tension with a touch of cosmic absurdity.

Unscrupulous con man Boyce Haskell feels ripped off when he gets a fortune from the Old Gypsy - that he'll "go a long way." He borrows money from his friend Bill, using it to get wealthier as he makes shady deals. He gets Bill involved in an apartment house building scheme where Boyce makes a bundle but Bill goes to jail for swindling. Chased by Bill's irate wife onto an empty subway train, Boyce sees his fortune coming true as it leaves the tracks and flies high up above the Earth.
